<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1439304, member: 26302&quot;]I have to admit the more I think about this post the more insulted I am. Exactly why are those of us who know how to grade and authenticate ourselves a &quot;coin slob&quot;? Why are those of us who have no interest in chasing some kind of registry doohicky or give a crud about what others think about our coins somehow inferior?</p><p><br /></p><p>I simply think this is an extremely demeaning remark completely ignoring a large segment of collectors who probably would not even want most of the coins you pursue so vigorously, as you probably would not want ours. A collector is not &quot;more&quot; of a collector, or a &quot;better&quot; collector simply because they need reassurance of a paid third party. I think I have demonstrated my grading prowess here on CT, and believe it or not have many high grade coins I simply do not wish to pay money to ask someone else&#039;s opinion on. I know what they are, know they are not cleaned or AT, and bought them appropriately. This is regarding my US coins, not even talking about ancients or medieval coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if I am taking it the wrong way, but to put most other options in a positive light, but non-TPG lovers in a derisive light is ticking me off a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
