<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2888183, member: 5233&quot;]I totally agree with you...too an extent.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I disagree with is the notion that the slab adds no value.&nbsp; The slab does have value in it&#039;s own right.&nbsp; This is because the slab is a market accepted third party experts opinion and evaluation of the coin.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t make the coin more valuable...it&#039;s the same coin.&nbsp; But that expert evaluation does have value of it&#039;s own.&nbsp; Put together as a tangible package you have slightly more than just the coin.&nbsp; You also have something that is more liquid and thus easier to sell and appealing to a wider array of (uneducated) buyers.&nbsp; You also have something that is safer to buy without seeing the coin in hand (online)...educated or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I completely agree that the TPGs and CACs of the world have created a crutch (to put it mildly) to allow collectors to cut corners (or avoid all together) their learning about the coins.&nbsp; It gives them a safety net.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But, I do believe that the slab has value and thus the coin in the slab has more value than the coin alone.&nbsp; How much more...that depends totally on the situation and the buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
