[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 607622, member: 17557"]I think the Early Release First Day Issue First Strike Is all crap... Just more ways, for grading companies to make their money, and more ways for dealers to make money... Dealers will send their shipments in, get em' graded with a $12 label, pray the population reports are low, then flip em' for the big bucks! Regardless your view of this, you could buy a $25 Buffalo MS69 and a $25 buffalo MS69 First Strike, and pay up to $300 more for the first strike, but you are getting the same coin! So you are basically paying for the $12 label, and the plastic! I believe in having coins graded, vs. raw, but I'd rather buy a bunch of raw coins, rather than have some FIRST DAY ISSUE junk... (Not saying people who collect FDI's are collecting junk, just saying I wouldn't pay a large premium for it)[/QUOTE]
