<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2154868, member: 36230&quot;]You don&#039;t have to agree with it, and while it might not be a big deal with common coins in the grade ranges that seem to interest you, the fact is that in many (if not most cases) there is a reason why slabbed examples generally cost more than much of the raw dreck offered on the bay. Unfortunately, buying raw to have slabbed just isn&#039;t the win-win or as easy as some, including every other guy who has had the same idea before you, may think, and usually there is a lesson to be learned. Think about it... (and again, much depends on the coins in question) if all one had to do was buy raw and submit in order to save a great deal of money, there wouldn&#039;t be any reason to pay up for already slabbed.&nbsp; The fact is that knowledge and a trained eye is what allows some to safely and profitably do this, and the large numbers of low value common problem coins residing in TPG holders should suggest to you that not everyone can. With that said, submitting one&#039;s own coins can be very educational, but doing so for the experience and just to save a little money are two different things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
