<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1211766, member: 13650&quot;]Good move.&nbsp; I get so many magazines in the mail that I opted for the electronic version online.&nbsp; Their magazine is usually really good. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;As far as submitting coins to NGC, it is not a cheap venture.&nbsp; First, you have to come up with a selection worth sending in that will grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s been the first road block for me.&nbsp; Most of my good stuff is already slabbed.&nbsp; &nbsp; Then the tiers are not cheap and everything else they offer (that I want) nickel and dimes you.&nbsp; &nbsp; Frankly, I&#039;d love to hear anybody who has submitted an order to them for less than 3 digits. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; In other words, you can&#039;t just send a single coin in for 20 bucks and call it good.&nbsp; They have min. orders.&nbsp; To me, the process seems extremely pricey.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have yet to send anything to them.&nbsp; Although I&#039;ve wanted to in the past.&nbsp;&nbsp; And you can&#039;t justify paying $100+ to get $100 worth of coins graded.&nbsp; It&#039;s almost not worth sending in any coin worth less than 2 to $300.&nbsp; Some might say $500.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Problem for me is, I&#039;d like to use the gold option (higher fee), variety plus (extra fee), I want the scratch resistant holders, (extra fee), then you pay shipping coming and going.&nbsp; &nbsp; I couldn&#039;t send a small order for less than $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; On top of that, you get to risk a shipping service losing your prized possessions, not once, but twice.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Edit:&nbsp; Just thought I&#039;d add, I&#039;m not trying to slam NGC.&nbsp; I prefer NGC slabs.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m just trying to bring to light the reality of how costly it is for an average collector to directly do business with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
