<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2320747, member: 24314"]Yes, and many do; however, from my observations the majority of collectors/small time dealers are not sophisticated enough to do that. Many others get the same quality coin at ANACS/ICG often for less $$$ because they buy the coin not the slab. They don't care what it will sell for later. I like to hang around a particular TPGS table (as much as possible w/o interfering w/business) and watch what goes on. You would be amazed at the lack of knowledge shown (even from dealers at the show) by people wanting opinions. It is lucky most of us have TPGS's or the sophisticated numismatists would be "taking everyone's pants down" buying up "steals" from the ignorant. </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember "Ignorant" means uneducated about a subject like grading, authentication, CT posting & rules (that's me but just for now) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
