<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2829905, member: 36230&quot;]Being as you&#039;re admittedly new, please understand that having coins &quot;graded&quot; is akin to playing a game. Play wisely and you can win, but do so foolishly, and you can permanently bury yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>While a coin is what it is inside or outside of plastic, in order for a coin to be worth submitting, the plastic must add something of value to it. This can be increased liquidity, to independently verified authenticity, and everything in between, but also means that a great majority of perfectly collectible coins out there, including many presently residing in plastic, have no business being there.</p><p><br /></p><p>The TPGs do not exist for the collector&#039;s benefit, but are for-profit businesses perfectly happy to remove money from your pocket without offering anything in return, and is why knowledge is key. Just as an athlete must exercise and practice in order to preform at their peak, the same can be said of collectors even if the &quot;exercise&quot; is mental as opposed to physical. The simple fact you&#039;re here and asking questions suggests you&#039;re heading down the wise path. Welcome to the forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
