<p>[QUOTE="acl864, post: 322893, member: 11153"]I don't think anything needs to be "fixed". Just allow the market to work itself out. Collectors will buy what they like and dealers will buy what they can resell at a profit. If the collectors stop demanding slabbed coins- the TPG's go out of business. Many modern collectors are more like investors. They want something that they can rely on to increase in value (or at least maintain it's value). The slabs have done that up to this point in time. Any service or concept that can give that assurance to consumers will be successful.</p><p> </p><p>Just for the record- I'm a collector- not an investor- certainly not a dealer. The slabs to me are irrelevant. Don't own one- probably never will. My very modest collection isn't for sale- trade or swap maybe- but definitely not for sale. </p><p> </p><p>Andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
