[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1661922, member: 112"]David - As I have explained to you before, I think the TPGs are the best thing that ever happened to this hobby. But that doesn't mean they are without faults or that I like everything about them. There are way, way, too many people within the hobby who seem to think of the TPGs as almost being godlike - that they can do no wrong. So I make an effort to point out their bad points, their mistakes, and their policies that I just out and out disagree with. People need to be made aware of these things so they can make better decisions regarding the coins they buy. You think about it for a minute, how many others are there that you are aware of who speak their minds about the TPGs ? How many others are there that tell the truth, regardless of what that truth is ? Not many is how many - and not near enough. And they sure can't do it on the PCGS forum because such comments are deleted and the members who made them are banned from the forum. So much for truth. As for plastic buyers - well, the most commonly repeated, and best, advice there is in this hobby is - buy the coin and not the slab. That kind of says it about plastic buyers doesn't it ?[/QUOTE]
