<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 404355, member: 6641&quot;]Mike,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sorry for joining the discussion very late in the game but I&#039;m not sure what you mean by the comment above?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not to start some argument/discussion over but I think both groups will be around as long as the hobby is.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s a level of commitment to the hobby the buyers have that will drive it.&nbsp; The more committed the more you will understand the difference.&nbsp; Some will take advantage of the market grading for the buyers that do not have the time or commitment to understand the difference.&nbsp; The buyers if nothing changes won&#039;t care and the sellers will make a little extra cash. IMO.&nbsp; I am still learning and have little experience compared to many on this forum so please I am not trying to offend anyone.&nbsp; Mark posted a comment once about some collectors having unimpressive collections as a result of the way they buy.&nbsp; Market grading probably helps this along a little.&nbsp; What happens when a coin is put into plastic, market graded, sold and then the market has another down turn?&nbsp; The hobby will look back on this behaviour and say what a mess we have.&nbsp; That&#039;s the dilemma as I see it, if there is never another down-turn then life goes on and most are happy - I think...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
