<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Old Silver, post: 179290, member: 4686&quot;]I think they have said that they will not be re-slabbing any of the first strike coins for the new&nbsp; label &quot;early release&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this whole deal destroys the TPG&#039;s and everyones love affair with them and their scams to steal collectors money.&nbsp; I remember when coin collectors used to collect coins.&nbsp; Now it seems collectors are more interested in what&#039;s on a paper label and a fancy plastic holder than the coin itself.&nbsp; I have noticed that a great many collectors seem to be currently obsessed with getting their coins slabbed almost to the extent that they consider &quot;raw&quot; to be undesirable.&nbsp; The ASE anniv. sets are a perfect example.&nbsp; They have now found a way to get people to send in their coins/sets unopened and uninspected!&nbsp; Thousands of coins are being slabbed that otherwise would have never been sent in at all, the TPG&#039;s must really be getting a belly laugh over this one all the way to the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO, It is now clear that the slabs were nothing more than a marketing scam.&nbsp; Collectors, hopefully have received an education and the scam will fade away as just another lesson learned.&nbsp; If not, and they continue to pay premiums for these, then they deserve to be ripped off as originally intended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
