Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 16566635, member: 105098"]I dunno about all this, I mean clearly there's coins, lots of coins, that the valuation doesn't make sense to bother with headhunting crack out and regrading, it's just not going to be worthwhile to someone paying someone $100-300K a year to look for the coins for $50 or $100 flips or even $1000 or $2000 flips. there's no meat on that. It's a certain class of coins that would happen with but not everything in a slab by any means. Same applies for that guy making $100-300K headhunting coins, there comes points where his knowledge and his salary makes him say "why don't I do this for myself?". I assume anyone paying someone like that, isn't looking for small potatoes, and the guy with the knowledge just needs the bankroll, And paying him like that gets him banked fairly quickly and then he's doing it for himself. rather than the business or person that hired him at that rate. The TPGs are going to make money as long as identifying PQ coins and counterfeit coins is hard to do for average collectors, and apparently, it's even hard for the TPGs to get it consistently right, so I don't see them NOT making money any time soon, with or without specialized buyers, or dealers doing their thing.[/QUOTE]
