[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1989752, member: 56793"]Another scenario, where you and I can discuss what is actually written and what it means. Here are the key points I quickly noticed and grasped from the very useful blog you presented. They are written by a serious collector... Here, he makes a reference to a collection worthy of a curator... [B]I am only a curator of this collection...[/B] Here, he clearly states the intention to sell and processing prior to sale... [B][B]Eventually everyone reaches a point in their numismatic career when selling some priced acquisitions is a prudent step. This realization came about as I continue to process my seated dime reference collection through the TPGs and CAC review.[/B][/B] Here, he brings up serious collectors and high quality coins... [B] It is time to start slowly selling some pieces and allowing other serious collectors to share the same enjoyment in acquiring high quality coins.[/B] Here, he mentions a coin important enough to be in the bank vault...
