[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 3913570, member: 36248"]100% of my "adult collection" coins were purchased online. (Some coins were purchased from a LCS around the Portland, Maine area in the 1988-1993 timeframe.) I echo what Doug said too. Hardly any coins were bought at LCS even counting raw coins from the 80s I submitted myself! Here is my breakdown of purchased TPG graded coins: [table][tr][td][B]VENUE[/B][/td][td][B]COINS[/B][/td][td][B]PERCENT[/B][/td][/tr] [tr][td]Auction[/td][td]179[/td][td]76.82%[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Online Dealer[/td][td]29[/td][td]12.45%[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Forum Member[/td][td]13[/td][td]5.58%[/td][/tr] [tr][td]LCS (Childhood)[/td][td]9[/td][td]3.86%[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Coin Show[/td][td]2[/td][td]0.86%[/td][/tr] [tr][td]gift[/td][td]1[/td][td]0.43%[/td][/tr] [tr][td]TOTAL[/td][td]233[/td][td]100.00%[/td][/tr][/table] Auctions and online dealer are where it's at, supplemented by kind folks on the CT / PCGS / NGC forums.[/QUOTE]
