<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1913227, member: 41863&quot;]You arent the only one, I just want to see improvements in this hobby that ultimately benefit the ones on whom this hobby was originally built. As a collector we could find plenty of coins to keep us busy either through our buddies, putting out fliers, want ads, circulation etc. The dealers and the graders wouldnt be in business without the collector, and thats a fact Jack!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now thats not to say each member of this hobby isnt important in their own right, but it sure does seem like the collector gets the short end of the stick more often than the other players involved. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean we have the graders who are making a KILLING off of our own stupidity basically, the dealers who all seem to be doing fairly well and who seldom get shafted or at least less than the collector. The auction houses are getting like 50% of the sale price of a coin (20% from buyer and 20% from seller), and then to top it all off the US Mint is somehow always dropping the ball on us small collectors, but MCM, APMEX, Provident, and any other big dealer sure didnt see any delays in their coins arrivals with the HOF and the Enhanced Uncirculated ASE coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Id just like to see something finally go our way, and this &#039;market acceptable&#039; label I keep hearing doesnt seem to be leveling the playing field for the collector, in fact it seems to benefit everyone else again, BUT the collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
