<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 469810, member: 15309&quot;]The reason Ruben thinks the CAC is a scam boils down to this.&nbsp; The CAC offers their opinion of the TPG&#039;s grade (opinion).&nbsp; By doing this, they create doubt in the consumer&#039;s eyes regarding the credibility of the original opinion.&nbsp; The creation of this doubt only serves to ensure that the CAC&#039;s opinion becomes more necessary thereby increasing their revenue.&nbsp; Before the creation of the CAC, the opinion of the TPG&#039;s did not suffer from an a severe credibility problem.&nbsp; Ruben is saying that the CAC is purposefully discrediting the TPG opinion in order to make their opinion essential.</p><p><br /></p><p>To some extent, he has a point.&nbsp; The CAC does not do anything to a coin that does not qualify for a sticker.&nbsp; This only ensures that these coins will be submitted over and over again while the CAC collects the fee and denies the sticker over and over.&nbsp; If they want their opinion to be ethical, they need to assign a different sticker to the coins that don&#039;t meet their requirements for that grade and include those coins in their online database.&nbsp; Any coin that gets a bad sticker will of course have the sticker removed by the owner, but they can&#039;t get away from the online database.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like CAC coins that have a sticker for buying sight unseen coins, but I do recognize the potential evils of this system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
