<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2916260, member: 76863&quot;]The US market is much the same.&nbsp; Most of the decreases are in things that are just to readily available at any time with puts some downwards pressure on prices.&nbsp; The great pieces for the grade and the harder to find things are doing just fine even if they did go through some down period when people had less spending money.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly that&#039;s just proof that you don&#039;t have any idea about the internet market.&nbsp; Registry players aren&#039;t even 1 percent of internet buyers.&nbsp; Of those that do participate the majority use it as an organizational tool and a way to share their collections such as the PCGS digital albums.&nbsp; The overwhelming majority of users know they would have to win the lottery to try and approach the number 1 set and would have to try and pry some coins out of it to ever get to it and aren&#039;t doing it as a competition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes I wonder what came first, collecting or stories that collecting is dying </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Which just shows how out of touch some of them are.&nbsp; Many coin shows are dying, there are just simply too many that always insist on having several days during the week and traveling to them isn&#039;t free.&nbsp; Weekday shows are fine for people who are retired but the working age crowd can&#039;t get there until the weekend if they don&#039;t have a family event and pretty much everyone knows it isn&#039;t worth going to a show on a Sunday.</p><p><br /></p><p>People who pay to subscribe to the magazines is also dying as are physical stores in general which are the measurements they use.&nbsp; If you use the wrong measurements like that of course you come to the long conclusions.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at the online market you see a healthy market.&nbsp; There&#039;s a reason why collectors of the age which would be considered the future of collecting all say the same thing about the future being alive and well and bright with the online market.&nbsp; Why some people refuse to accept that I do not know.&nbsp; TPGs are doing record numbers, thousands of coins are sold everyday online ect ect, a lot of people have brought up a lot of good points about the large disconnect between the younger generations and people who refuse to accept that collecting is changing[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
