<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WashQuartJesse, post: 2750533, member: 18323&quot;]Peter, I&#039;ve returned to CT after a short hiatus. One of the first things I wanted to do was to become a supporting member again. I looked for about 15 minutes and couldn&#039;t find any way to do so. Sure, I spend hours researching a particular date and mm of relatively little value, etc..., and <i>could</i> have looked further, but I gave up after that. I think a pronounced &quot;something,&quot; like a &quot;contribute to CT here!&quot; tab would be more than justified. If you do decide to utilize the mint sets, I&#039;d start by posting them here for multiples of the fmv somewhere. Any purchaser should receive a unique supporter identifier as others have suggested. I&#039;d be the first to buy a set or two and continue/contribute to this great resource. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been working on my particular series for close to a decade. The other day, I went on another forum and guessed the exact TPG grade on every single GTG thread applicable to my series after a couple years of inactivity. Seriously, every single one... and there must have been 4 or 5 different threads. I guess what I&#039;m saying is, despite some of the negativity as of late, this has been my cornerstone for grading development. To me, that&#039;s very important and has been my area of focus. I&#039;d actually challenge anyone outside of CT who isn&#039;t an actual TPG grader to compete w/ me in my series on an online photo GTG competition. That&#039;s a very bold challenge, but I stand by it. Mainly, because of CT, its members, and a few very strict original surfaces type independent graders/dealers who I&#039;ve crossed paths with over the years like Anawan Coin Co of MA. I&#039;d drive from NH to a Westford show or something back in 2009 when I had just enough $ to cover the gas and a &lt;$50 coin or two and a pack of smokes. You may have paid a little more, but you&#039;d always receive a very strong coin and the type of care factor and education that only people looking to promote the hobby ever offer. That&#039;s what I feel here. So, thank you Peter, thank you CT members, and especially thank you to CT supporters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
