<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1982719, member: 112&quot;]Kurt I&#039;ve watched it from the beginning, I suspect you have too. It started back in 2000 with ICG and their, at the time anyway, unique approach to capturing a share of the market - special labels. NGC and PCGS were both all too quick to jump on that bandwagon when they saw how well it worked. For here was a way, at last, to reach those in the market who they could not previously reach and thus increase submissions, which were on the verge of decreasing due to lack of new material. Here was a way to allow them to encourage the slabbing of modern, and all to ordinary and common, coins. Here was a way to make at least some of them special, at least in the eyes of those gullible enough to believe that a paper label, all by itself, could make the coin special.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the technique that any and every huckster that has ever been has used - find a way to make the gullible public believe that something that is really nothing, is really something. And when you do, they will stand in line to buy it !</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s exactly what is happening. PT Barnum has gone mainstream ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
