<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 2646939, member: 73489&quot;]Excellent observations....just off the top of my head, from helping me with some bids and non-bids, and given their contributions to threads on this site, I would cite <span style="color: #00b300"><b>MorganDude, CPM9, SuperDave, JPCienkus, and of course, GDJMSP </b></span><span style="color: #000000">as very good at what they say/do</span>.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Go back to the OP of this thread. </b> When you get down to it, CAC is basically a grade of the graders, a 2nd opinion. John Albanese is a great contributor to this profession and I have tremendous respect for him, but outside of a few coins for a few years when the TPGs were very loose, the notion that you can tell &quot;<i>really good for the grade</i>&quot; from &quot;<i>really bad from the grade</i>&quot; coins WITHIN the same grade rating is really specious, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>That said, yes, I have paid up at times for a CAC sticker just like I pay up to buy slabbed coins as I would very highly unlikely buy an expensive non-graded coin unless I was very sure of the authenticity and grade and was getting it at a huge discount to what I thought that grade was.</u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
