<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1913631, member: 41863&quot;]Your darn right its based on emotional experiences. I dont like seeing problem coins in problem free slabs, from the experts. The same experts who have something to gain by claiming that the market supports the way they do things, and the end user not realizing its a gimmick against them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah I am all for educating people on fallacies. This is one of them. It doesnt demonize the whole TPG system, it merely is to demonstrate that people NEED to educate themselves so they dont get taken advantage of in certain situations. I am sure I am not the only one who feels that way. I am simply just shining a light into a crevice. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its like counterfeit detection or learning to grade coins properly. You want to make sure you are getting the best coin for your money and that you wont lose money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me ask you this, what happens when the market changes and these slider coins are no longer accepted? What if there isnt an NGC or PCGS around to follow through with their guarantee. Would you be happy knowing you bought an MS-63 and it turned out to be an AU-58 40 years down the road, because the market shifted and started rejecting those coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>Methinks, people should know this information so they dont get hosed on their coins down the road. How can they prepare themselves if they dont know to look out for that sneaky &#039;market acceptable&#039; coin lurking with true coins that are solid for the grade? I am just saying &gt;HEY LOOK AT THIS, IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT&lt; Anything further than that and you have read too much into it. </p><p><br /></p><p>PS, I have a good chance of being around 50 years from now, so these are things I MUST think about when throwing my money at coins. Where will the market be in 50 years? Who knows. But at least I can say I tried to educate myself and help others not to get hosed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
