[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2345180, member: 36230"]It didn't even cross my mind that he could have meant submitting... OP, If this is what you're asking, please understand that contrary to how things may appear on the outside looking in, a great majority of coins people collect would have no business residing in TPG holders. Submitting must somehow add to the coin, be it in liquidity, increasing its potential, or even in confirming authenticity, so even setting costs aside, if a coin is not measurably better off inside a holder, there's no real reason for wanting to put it in one. Costs, of course, should be a consideration because depending on a coin's potential value, submission fees can easily eat up a fairly large percentage of it; many set a value threshold, often around $100, before submitting becomes an option, and even then all pros and cons must individually be weighed. The point is that with few exceptions, a coin is what it is residing inside TPG plastic or raw. Always focus first on the coin itself.[/QUOTE]
