<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2378221, member: 76792"]These T V coin show hosts are like car salesmen, they tell you what you want to hear, this makes you feel good! Their mark-up is high, it has to be in order to pay for their expenses. You can almost always buy the very same item for 50% less on the net or at a show. If you are fortunate enough to know and trust a coin dealer, you stand to do a lot better. Rick Tomaska is no different from other T V hosts, except that he is extremely knowledgeable in numismatics and has vital information for the collector. As far as the other hosts, they,re nothing but bombastic salesmen! As for Rick Tomaska, he can build you a great collection or even the best collection to be had, and many will gladly pay extra for his expert services. I like his presentations as a learning experience but I generally buy coins from trusted dealers or the net.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
