<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dillan, post: 3748764, member: 90539&quot;]The mints from all countries are doing exactly what the Baseball and Hockey card market did in the 1990s . The contracts ran out with Topps and O-pee-chee so all of a sudden there were 10 new card companies flooding the market with garbage such as Pro-Set hockey what a joke that was . I owned a hockey card and comic store which was doing really well ,which I sold when the market was peaking. The coin companies should see what they are doing by flooding the market with all kinds of things they are calling coins. One of the better things they are doing is having some issues with very short mint runs of less then 25K . I recommend to coin buyers especially newbies is to purchase very limited runs , and stick with old coins prior to the 1967 for Canadian and similar with US coins . The older issues all have a special feeling to them. Buy what you like not what you want and be careful of the ever expanding fakes that are also damaging the market and scaring away hoards of people. I am in the process of giving all my coins to my newest Grandson . I have been trying to send him a 15 pound box every month and have another 15 boxes to pack up . His dad is going to help him as he ages to understand the coins and their beauty as well as the fickle market place. We are experiencing a downturn in pricing ,or what I like to view as a correction in pricing. Too bad many people got caught up in the high pricing that is perpetuated by the grading companies. The TPGs are responsible for the upward stupidity in pricing and will eventually have to make a massive correction when people stop buying their tombed products which really does not make them all that much better then if the coins were raw. A piece of plactic holding the coin makes it all of a sudden worth 100 times more because of a personal opinion of a grading company . So does that mean the MS65 coin I have is worth less because the coin are raw and do not have Joe Blows plastic tomb . Wake up people . Stick to honest sellers , buy raw coins tell the tombers to get lost with their high priced money making game.&nbsp; Just a friendly opinion , take from it what you want , leave the rest .
