<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 5172242, member: 29751"]Many of your replies make me debate starting to classify you as a <i>dealer </i>first, and <i>collector </i>second. You talk about "moving" things, selling for a profit, etc. a lot. Do you classify yourself moreso as a dealer or collector nowadays?</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have to agree with the others. Though you (Lehigh) may be a "kid" compared to someone like [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] , you're certainly on the older end of the collecting realm than some of us are. [USER=5233]@CamaroDMD[/USER] has a completely valid point about PCGS' place in the graded coin world 30-40 years from now. The news of yesterday that PCGS (CU) is being bought and will no longer be a publicly traded company come next year is an interesting move. [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] will probably be heart-broken, since he is always using the stock price of CU as some sort of a straw-man argument of their 'superior status'... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Never say never. There are too many companies to even begin to count that were once "untouchable" market leaders that are today ghosts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
