[QUOTE="900fine, post: 628414, member: 6036"]Hey guys, With the CAC being a hot topic these days, I thought I would stir the pot just a little more... Any concerns about hustles with the sticker ? If it becomes widely believed that a CAC sticker indicates higher value, then CAC stickered coins will demand higher prices. This provides a profit motive to do CAC sticker scams. Two major ones come to mind : [B]COUNTERFEIT STICKERS :[/B] Not the easiest thing to do, but a convincing fake CAC sticker would be much easier than a convincing counterfeit coin or a slab. [B]REMOVING FROM ONE SLAB AND PLACING ON ANOTHER :[/B] Again, not easy to do without tearing up the sticker. But crooks can be very ingenious with the use of solvents etc. Yes, I'm sure CAC has thought of all this. Personally, I'm not worried. But what are your thoughts ? Any other hustles to be wary of ? Any field reports of scam artists ? [SIZE=1](Forgive me if this topic is already discussed within another thread)[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
