<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1404619, member: 26302&quot;]Well my disagreement would be simply economics in coin collecting. I mean, TPG are paid well to give opinions on a coins grade. Just this action takes tens of millions of dollars out of the hobby every year, money that instead could be used to buy more coins. Now, that isn&#039;t enough money that the hobby &quot;needs&quot; to pay, somebody else wants millions more a year to &quot;confirm&quot; the grade the TPG gave a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Where does it end? How many more millions of dollars a year need to fill the pockets of people providing &quot;services&quot; to the hobby, and not actually buying or selling any coins? All this does, to me, is jack up the cost of the hobby and make it more and more expensive to buy coins. Its effectively taking coin money and paying you back with green stickers.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, my argument is on a global economic perspective. I do not think its out of ignorance, nor does it preclude TPG, just saying how many people has to charge collectors money to look at their coin? How much money must we spend on non-coin charges? Will there be a new company started by David Bowers that will look at CAC stickered, TPG slabbed coins, and if HE agrees he will put a little blue triangle on the slab?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
