<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1503104, member: 37839&quot;]Nothing new on the CAC articles.&nbsp; Before we got the &quot;remove your CAC stupidity&quot; a few weeks ago, these same debates took place.&nbsp; The simple, irrefutable fact is that CAC coins sell for more, retain their value, and for the grade are generally better looking.&nbsp; If one wants to dismiss that, plus the benefits of TPGs and CAC endorsements, go right ahead.&nbsp; Buy raw coins, and take your chances that your grading ability is as good or better than the professionals.&nbsp; That isn&#039;t sound collecting--it is merely an exercise in ego, and self-gratification that one is a &quot;master collector,&quot; and better at the hobby than the acknowledged experts.&nbsp; The word for that is hopelessly naive.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some on this board that set themselves up as &quot;experts on grading,&quot;&nbsp; or present themselves as professional malcontents.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see how either position is defensible, or productive to the hobby.&nbsp; We have TPGs and we have CAC endorsements, and that is not going to change.&nbsp; Dinosaurs became extinct, as they could not adapt.&nbsp; Same is true with the coin hobby--third and fourth party evaluations are here to stay, so either learn to live with them, or be a professional malcontent. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
