[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1922599, member: 56793"]All this talk throughout CT about buying the coin and not the slab, and here we have not only a slab purchase, but also a CAC sticker purchase. On top of that, if you're not a big Ike collector, I can only understand it as you going out of your way to buy a sticker hologram on a rectangular slab with a dollar inside. It's like you paid for the fancy labels and logos on that $1 pair of jeans. I like to buy the odd slab, but, I prefer it cost less than the price of the coin + grading fees. Then, I sort of feel like I bought the slab and got the coin (usually silver or error) for free, or bought the coin and got the slab for free. There are exceptions whenever I really want a coin in my collection, but then, I usually do not attach this sort of phrase to my reasoning... "[I]I am not a big Ike collector[/I]...". Either way, nice hologram sticker. I'm not looking to start a fight, just trying to get the topic started...:smug:[/QUOTE]
