<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7956198, member: 100459"]I agree that the only reason to give a coin FDOI is to have collectors pay an unGodly sum for a coin (or anything else that is graded). My son has collected Marvel comic books since he was 12. He bought them with his own money or sweat of the brow. He worked at a pharmacy stacking inventory, sweeping and moping floors, and anything else he was asked to do. The Pharmacist (and my son) kept a record of the hours that he worked, and weekly he would be given a chit that he could use to collect his comics. Sometimes, he would asked to get pay so he could get covers for his comic books. He also has a collection of baseball cards from (I think) TOPPS. He would get a box that had all the baseball cards of players in that year. Again, most of his collections came from working and getting chits. He has all the TOPPS (I may be wrong on the manufacture of the cards) from 1983 to date.</p><p>None are graded because he kept them all in some type of cover. He put the baseball cards in a large, sealable bag to keep them intact. He still will not sell them and he has kept his collections intact. He now owns two homes in Atlanta suburbs and two beach apartments in Florida, a boat, a motorcycle, 2 cars, 4 daughters (3 in college) and a partridge in a pear tree.
