<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8239296, member: 105098&quot;]Well considering I suppose the two tpgs that CAC will recognize are the two the guy also founded. I don&#039;t know how it works now, but earlier on, John Albanese was the only person looking over coins to determine if they were getting a bean or not, and he also buys the coins he stickers, I guess it just boils down to him collecting a $5 fee to tag coins he&#039;d like to handle at a future date if the owner wishes to sell.... kind of a preview. How he convinced people to pay for that service, no idea seems crazy to me that people don&#039;t see it for what it is, but there are appraisals that people pay for as &quot;normal&quot;,&nbsp; but then again I suppose if it has a bean it puts the coin on the radar of John Albanese and David Lawrence and the likes, the heavy hitter coin dealers that pay and sell top dollar, so I suppose that&#039;s worth something when it comes time to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>A private owner in a capitalist system can have a monopoly, it can&#039;t happen in a free market system. So I&#039;d have to say its both capitalism and a monopoly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
