<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2289164, member: 76086&quot;]Let&#039;s face it, slabs for ancients were coming like it or not.&nbsp; As a long time dealer I always hated the idea and I still do.&nbsp; But, there are opportunities.&nbsp; The slabbing companies (even with Vagi) make huge mistakes every day.&nbsp; They, and their main auction output, Heritage, are simply machines.&nbsp; Put out the volume and make money on what comes.&nbsp; I have bid on slabs (though I hate them I leave them as is) and bought some insane rarities for pennies on the dollar.&nbsp; Mostly you will find extremely common and lower grade stuff, and yes, they will sell for much more than the average ancient collector.&nbsp; However, I have found some gems in the rough.&nbsp; In the past couple of years I have found several that are one of two or three known, and several that are linked to very old published collections.&nbsp; So, in this wild west time of slabbed ancients, look closer.&nbsp; One can make some really good buys if you have the knowledge.&nbsp; Let them make their mistakes, it will only benefit us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
