<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 1210619, member: 4920&quot;]FWIW, Doug, we&#039;re of the same mind on all of that, except, strictly-speaking, on the last paragraph. If one hangs out in the PCGS forums, I&#039;ll agree; there certainly are more plastic buyers than coin buyers. That&#039;s certainly the perception, there. At NGC, as I read those forums, it&#039;s a little less the perception. Elsewhere, though (it&#039;s <i>my </i> perception, anyway), the hobby is still very much alive and well, and the members are either grading, themselves, or at least making an honest effort to learn the ropes. They&#039;re not categorically &quot;buying into&quot; the marketing manipulation/hype. Rather, they&#039;re buying coins they&#039;re grading, themselves. At least, I&#039;d hope I have that right. Have to shove off, again...</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: Now that I think of it, you&#039;d <i>hope </i> it, too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
