Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 626009, member: 112"]Fair enough, but I want ask what I consider to be an even more important question. But before we get to that, let me ask another. Do either of you think that all coins graded by the same TPG, say MS64, are equal ? Now I think I know both of you well enough to say that you both will answer no to that question. That being said, then if all 64's are not equal, it stands to reason that not all 64's are worth the same amount either. This can of course be evidenced by checking the realized auction prices. So now to the important question, and this is to everybody, say that a given coin graded MS64, and one that just happens to have a CAC sticker on it, is being being offered for sale. And as it happens, the asking price just happens to be more than a similar coin, graded by the same TPG, of the same grade. Now if you admit that the two coins graded the same are not equal, that one of them is definitely nicer than the other, and that coin just happens to be the one with the CAC sticker - would you then be willing to pay more for the nicer coin ? And if you would, then what difference does it make if it has the CAC sticker on it ? You'd still pay more for it even if it didn't have the CAC sticker - wouldn't you ? My point is, you're not paying more for the CAC sticker. You're paying more for the nicer coin of the two.[/QUOTE]
