What collectors need to do is to follow the same advice that has always been given - buy the coin not the slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is that advice has been given so many times, it has been repeated for so long, that it has almost become trite. People don&#039;t seem to understand it, they don&#039;t know what it means. In simple terms, it means you ignore the grade on the slab regardless of who put it there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another part of the problem is that some people will spout that advice, but then refuse to follow it themselves. The people I am talking about here are those who have the attitude that the TPG is always right. Think about that for a minute. If you believe the TPG is always right, then how can you possibly be buying the coin and not the slab ? And that is the point - you aren&#039;t. You&#039;re buying the plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
