<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scooterv, post: 1774274, member: 56677&quot;]Ok, all jokes aside&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It seems there is a disagreement on the value of TPG slabs.&nbsp; I can understand the argument.&nbsp; However, when one points out that dealers do it because they know they will be easier to sell, would that not apply to anyone?&nbsp; If one is knowledgeable, gets a coin they are happy with, AND in a slab will they not also gain the same ability to more easily resell if needed?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, it is true there are many unknowledgable collectors out there, myself being one of them.&nbsp; Not that I will &quot;chase plastic&quot;, but as I learn and become more comfortable with my skills something with &quot;PCGS&quot; on it isn&#039;t just plastic, it&#039;s insurance!&nbsp; It may be somewhat over, or under, graded but I can have a little confidence it&#039;s at least close.&nbsp; AND I can have a little confidence I can also likely re-sell without running into a HUGE &quot;OOPS, that was nowhere near as valuable as I thought&quot;.&nbsp; To me, that is a real value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I get the point though, on &quot;Buy the coin, not the plastic&quot;, but when arguing on WHY a dealer may do it it only proves there really IS some value in that plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
