<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3133524, member: 36230&quot;]The clarification is most appreciated, Jim, and honestly so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I haven&#039;t spoken to Mr. Wexler in some years, he has never struck me as one (a&#039;la Ken Potter) simply trying to promote something negative or damaging in order to pad his pockets. Perhaps this has changed, but there was a time when he would give permission to folks wishing to use his photos, only asking for credit in return yet even this was widely abused. He seems to be willing to answer many of the questions people email to him, at least based upon what has been said here, and isn&#039;t the action of someone in it only for the money. Yes, he does sell coins, but if we look at it in context the vast majority are widget-level and certainly not something able to fund a retirement in a cardboard box. Perhaps this no longer holds true, but there was a time when the coins (varieties) he was selling were generally priced under to well under the average eBay selling price even though coming from one of the most reputable sources there is for such things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from the very real possibility that I may have missed and/or something has changed, my only real point was that Mr. Wexler seems one of the good guys even if his name is regretfully often attached to nonsense. He clearly goes out of his way to provide the necessary information to help individuals make a (hopefully) reasonable decision as to what the different types of so-called &quot;varieties&quot; are, and shouldn&#039;t be faulted if misinterpreted or misused.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, we certainly share the same concerns about where this is going and what damage it could do to the hobby as a whole. It&#039;s fast becoming a monster that no one person or even group could ever get back into it&#039;s cage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
