<p>[QUOTE="acl864, post: 324881, member: 11153"]I'd be remiss if I didn't point out (again) those little plastic holders. As a former Purchasing Agent with years of procurement experience, I could knock those things off very easily and cost effectively- right down to the holographic decals. Honesty and integrity keep me from doing so. I'm too world weary and jaded to believe that every other person in the world operates on the same value system. I know from previous threads that counterfeit NGC slabs have already been detected. There could already be counterfeit slabs in circulation that have escaped detection. Given the financial incentive- I'd say it's an inevitability that unscrupulous individuals will keep on counterfeiting them until they succeed. The hobby will survive. If the TPG companies don't evolve quickly to meet this threat, they may not. This scenario may not fix the TPG system, but I feel it is destined to change it for better or worse. </p><p> </p><p>Andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
