[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2114077, member: 60292"]Wow John you are the ultimate ra-ra cheerleader for coin collecting. If I didn't know any better I would guess you are a dealer selling slabbed 70 JFK's. We're both on the same side in wanting the hobby to survive and stay strong, but I think you are actually doing a disservice to drown out the issues within the hobby by saying everything will be fine and dandy. You did acknowledge one flaw In pricing between one grade to the next, but then keep falling back on everything will be as good as always. I think the best thing we can do to improve the odds of this hobby doing well is to create awareness of the issues - not drown them out with unbridled optimism. Also, you seem so certain that the hobby will be strong in the future when no one knows what the future holds. At least us "doomsdayers" admit we could be wrong. I think we are being more sensible.[/QUOTE]
