<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LakeEffect, post: 4517402, member: 43201&quot;]While I completely agree, keep in mind it&#039;s not the mint&#039;s mission to do the right thing by the hobby, it&#039;s their mission to keep buyers coming back with money in hand. They don&#039;t make money melting down excess Jackie Robinson coins but they do when they sell out a contrived rarity for a price calculated to produce a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s obviously a market for these contrived things or they wouldn&#039;t sell out in 10 minutes and fetch ridiculous prices in the secondary market. They&#039;ve created a buzz in a segment of the hobby and those people keep coming back for the next offering. We see it here at CT. We traditional collectors don&#039;t get, don&#039;t like it, and don&#039;t participate but it&#039;s not going away, nor are the collector&#039;s who participate, I believe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
