<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 25680196, member: 36248&quot;]My wife does call me a &quot;weirdo&quot;&nbsp; from time to time, I guess my brain doesn&#039;t quite think like a lot of people, even to my own detriment. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; And here I am thinking I almost too &quot;normal&quot; LOL.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me personally, I skip ANACS when buying for three primary reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) I hate the look of their slab (as already mentioned)</p><p>(2) CAC doesn&#039;t accept ANACS for stickering.&nbsp; (it&#039;s the theme of my Box-of-100 collection)</p><p>(3) The sheer volume of coins to look at.&nbsp;&nbsp; (I already have to wade though way too much material)</p><p><br /></p><p>100% I understand and appreciate that many collectors love ANACS, maybe even prefer their slab, and can find amazing coins and amazing prices when buying ANACS coins.&nbsp; I know there are coins I would love in ANACS plastic.&nbsp; But for me, it comes down to time.</p><p><br /></p><p>To source the coin, submit the coin to PCGS/NGC, worry about it crossing or not, then sending to CAC, worrying if it will sticker or not, then back to me, then updating all the photos (new slab / possible sticker).&nbsp;&nbsp; At the end of the day, I want to shortcut some of these processes.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Time&quot; is the same reason why I don&#039;t buy on eBay any more either.&nbsp;&nbsp; Its just too much to wade through, too many variables, and I already look at maybe 500-1000 coins per week on GC alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do like it that you called my post &quot;intriguing&quot;, I need to do that more often.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
