<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 25679984, member: 91609&quot;]Geek, a very intriguing response!</p><p><br /></p><p>It may explain why some of my best coin acquisitions were in ANACS slabs (less competition perhaps?).&nbsp; What happened to &quot;buy the coin, not the slab&quot;?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>OK, I get it, <b><i><u>selling</u></i></b> you may want to upgrade the slab, but <b><i><u>buying</u></i></b>, you are shorting yourself if you unilaterally dismiss an ANACS slab.&nbsp; I get it, they are not attractive &amp; clash with the other slabs, but some of my best, most valuable, fabulous specimens were/are ANACS.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know that &quot;many other people&quot; summarily dismiss ANACS because of the slab, but they would be foolish to do so. (While I run the risk of increasing my competition for these, my purchases have greatly reduced the last few years since both my collection &amp; accumulation are pretty much complete. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have some other specimens that are in &quot;off&quot; slabs, but I try to always buy the coin.&nbsp; Furthermore, I have <b><i>never</i></b> bought a coin <b><i>because</i></b> it was in a PCGS or NGC slab.&nbsp; (Also, I&#039;ve never let a CAC sticker influence me, although I do possess several.) </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
