<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2417940, member: 36230&quot;]Do you think I&#039;m just making this up? Believe it or not it happens all the time, and for the very reasons I&#039;ve already told you, mostly consistency, but always money.... people like to gamble, and this is especially true when they can hedge their bets with knowledge/experience. Think about it.... X coin in, as an example, a 64 holder will generally sell within a certain range, yet that same coin residing in a 65 holder, due to the prevalence of plastic buyers can sometimes, depending on the type/date/mint, can sell for significantly to multiples more in some cases; is this not reason enough?</p><p><br /></p><p>As to &quot;what end&quot;, well, it sometimes ends with the previously mentioned &quot;hot potatoes&quot;, but is just as likely to end when someone unable to grade for themselves buys the coin (unless it was, in fact, deserving, which sometimes is the case). It also sometimes ends with wasting money, but is all part of the game. With that said though, I suppose there&#039;s always the chance that gradeflation&nbsp; (look it up) will catch up and all will again be kosher.... until the resubmissions start, that is. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, this is all a game, and similar to how an athlete exercises in order to give the best chance of succeeding, smart collectors will exercise their minds to hopefully achieve the same result. Being a new collectors is like a player on the farm team trying to homer off a major league pitcher; while there&#039;s always that remote chance, it&#039;s probably not going to happen unless, over time, he develops the necessary tools. The more you learn, the better off you&#039;ll be, and it&#039;d as simple as that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
