<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 1818373, member: 16729&quot;]I don&#039;t know much about collecting on that side of the Pacific, or the collecting community in East Asia, or even in Korea itself.&nbsp; I really am trying to learn more!&nbsp;&nbsp; All I know is that there are MORE collectors here in North America (per capita!) than Korea, but I do get the sense from my yearly summer trips to Seoul that grading (TPG) IS important to them and to the commerce in collectible coins over there.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There ARE certainly people who are new to the hobby/trade/life (due mostly to the rise in the personal fortunes of people all across Asia, esp. China), so maybe that explains our perception that they are less maniacal about grading.&nbsp; It seems to me that the TPGs see this potential for growth and interest in East Asia and are trying to capitalize on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It will be interesting to see how coin collecting and Third-Party Grading progresses in the next decade over there...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
