<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 2189445, member: 42727&quot;]I&#039;ve seen many non-CAC coins on eBay with a ridiculous BIN too.&nbsp; Like GD stated, many have an inflated opinion of their coins (CAC or no-CAC).</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the idea of having a giant in the industry (JA) viewing and approving a coin; however, I&#039;m not willing to pay big premiums just because he approved.&nbsp; I have many CAC stickered coins, but it&#039; not a prerequisite on a graded coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, you need to use your own common sense when viewing each coin on an individual basis.&nbsp; There&#039;s no &quot;secret sauce&quot;, so to speak.&nbsp; I don&#039;t like every coin I see graded by a TPG, nor do I like every coin with a CAC sticker.&nbsp; I look at the coin first, view the grade, weigh the CAC and make up my mind whether I like the coin and want to add it to my collection.&nbsp; Once I&#039;ve determined I want the coin, I determine what I&#039;m willing to pay for it.&nbsp; I use a variety of price guides to help with value, but I rely most heavily on HA&#039;s auction archives.&nbsp; If I can&#039;t find enough examples at HA, than I&#039;ll see if they have one in a current auction.&nbsp; Each listing has a price guide with multiple price sources as well as the Heritage index.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, there is no &quot;magic&quot; plastic and/or sticker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
