Message:: [QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 466166, member: 9308"]I have not read the entire thread yet, so I'm out on a limb. Before we comment on the stickers, how many of you actually see 100's or 1000's of coins a week in slabs, raw and stickered, and have taken the time to compare? Now, that said........  I have only handeled a few CAC coins. They were premium for the grade , solid and with eye appeal to boot. We all have seen PCGS/NGC doggies, believe me, they are out there. You wont find one with a sticker. For those that rely on the TPG's, this is another added layer of protection. Investors mainly, or those without the time to actually learn how to grade. More money than skill or interest.  Those with a keen eye can ignore them. Those without can use them as a tool. Do they sell for extra? YES. Why? Because they are premium coins. ANY coin that is premium will trade above sheet. Remember , sheet is for AVERAGE coins. Any coin that is a knockout, or a real " looker " will always trade above wholesale, whether it has a sticker or not.  Sometimes you have to throw the sheet away and buy the coin regardless of the " list price". If a coin is overpriced in your opinion, pass on it and order one from the redbook or the greysheet at the prices they list for average coins. Give that a try and post your results here. Average hurts more when selling than when buying, always remember that.[/QUOTE]
