<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 469771, member: 5233"]I fully agree. I have no problem with the TPGs or CAC. When I buy a coin, I look at the coin and grade it myself. I then compare it to the grade on the slab (if the coin is slabbed). With a CAC sticker there, it is just one more opinion of the coin's condition. The more opinions the better. But, I don't base my purchase solely on the presence or lack of a sticker...or a slab. I think CAC is particularly helpful with coins online. If I can see the coin in hand, I am confident in my own ability to judge and grade the coin. With pictures, you lose a degree of that confidence. It's nice to have a second opinion (CAC) on the coin's grade to go with the first (the TPG). But, in the end, it's up to the purchaser to decide wither the coin is properly graded and priced.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, I pay what I feel the coin is worth or I don't buy it.
