[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1446023, member: 29581"]That's not a crock, it's reality. How many people do you know strive to collect slabbed MS/PR70 labeled coins from either PCGS or NGC? In the past year since I joined CT, I've seen more than one thread of people, who have passed through here, who were/are working on a MS or PR70 registry set. The 69 label is much more reasonable, yet they seek out the 70. Hence my statement, "people are entitled to throw their money away as they choose, and others are entitled to be more thrifty in their spending." And was your arm being twisted, forcing you to overpay for the coin(s)? Could you have not walked away? Was this pre-TPG or post_TPG? In so far as your statement, "You will come back, and reiterate that one has to be an expert grader--", on the contrary one should be knowledgeable at grading. As many of us are. If you wish to accept their subjective opinion as being more than just that; however, reality must set in at some point that you only really have a paid opinion and nothing more. No, I acknowledge them, I choose not to endorse them.[/QUOTE]
