<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 3765763, member: 20480&quot;]I&#039;ve sworn up and down that CAC shouldn&#039;t be necessary . . . repeatedly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I had a very selective customer contact me after I listed a rare coin in an NGC holder on my website with a stretch price on it.&nbsp; He indicated that he was building a PCGS Registry set , and would buy that coin at very nearly my stretch price, but only if I crossed it into a PCGS holder and got it CAC&#039;ed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t fond of sending coins to PCGS after a sour experience with them last year, and I&#039;ve never believed in spending money on getting a green bean sticker, but I really wanted to put that coin with this particular collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>After several weeks of deliberation, I finally broke down, crossed the coin with PCGS (along with 3 others, I scored 3 for 4) and submitted it to CAC today. Because shipping expenses seemed obscenely high for a single coin, I picked through my inventory for more coins to submit with it.&nbsp; By the time I&#039;d finished, I had 20 coins in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here I am . . . a CAC naysayer, encouraging collectors to set aside their respect for the validator of TPG grades in favor of honing and depending on their own grading skills, and I suddenly go and send 20 coins to the very outfit I&#039;ve been saying we should do without.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yup, I&#039;ve sold out . . .
