<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 324854, member: 4626"]Sounds good to me. It would certaintly eliminate those who buy coins as merely an investment from the hobby, thus lowering the prices for the true collectors who want to collect coins purely for the sake of doing so. However I doubt your assertion that the internet market would go away... nice coins speak for themselves and don't need a piece of plastic to be marketable. It would certaintly make questionable coins hard to sell... another good thing. So let's see... having the price of coins going down, eliminating pure investors and collectors who are unable or unwilling to educate themselves about the hobby, and having poor coins disappear from online venues... what exactly is the downside here? Sounds like the only losers in this scenario are those who can't or won't learn about coins on their own, coin investors who care little or nothing about collecting for its own sake, and of course the TPGs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
