<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 21484, member: 487&quot;]Unfortunately our world is run by the people willing to spend the money. All of our trade magazines routinely accept and run ads from dealers who are at best faulty even by the standards set forth by that magazine. If you read the ad requirements, you will see that advertising rules require grades to be spelled out and honest. In another thread a question was brought up about the use of BU. Many advertisers in the major publications use this term very loosely. Some have had their memberships to the ANA revoked for selling questionable coins, yet their ads still run. Some of the grading services that are questionable at best have their ads run also. </p><p>When new comers to the hobby see these large ads, they are often mislead into believing that the companies are reputable. </p><p>Until the hobby as a whole sets forth hard and fast rules, it is up to those of us that know better to share our knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
