[QUOTE="Earle42, post: 2649139, member: 78261"]Trying to be realistic here. Only the people who put faith in the abilities of the coninutally-being-shown-to-be-far-from-infallible TPGS see a loss of value. The coins remain as valuable as they actually ever were. If people were willing to pay for a TPG's opinion - that was their own money to spend. Its a psychological fact humans like an "expert's" stamp pf approval, so people will always shell out the money. However, it is very unreasonable to expect everyone to need the same security blanket coverage (not a negative term). It is therefore also unreasonable to expect everyone to think cracking a coin out is a waste of money. Personally, even if I had the money, I would need to see these in hand as the TPGs are known to make enough mistakes that I would want to buy the coins - not what the slabs/labels/stickers represent.[/QUOTE]
