<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 357133, member: 5629&quot;]:hail:&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m putting my Birthyear collection into snap-lock slabs.&nbsp; BEAUTIFUL presentation, and they can stack and store rather easily...even more so than air-tites.&nbsp; They are my personal preference for my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Exactly.&nbsp; There is nothing inherently wrong with using slabs, just as there is nothing inherently wrong with using cardboard or other plastic, such as Capital or Air-tites.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, enough cannot be said about education and knowledge.&nbsp; Probably one of the biggest problems about online auction venues, eBay especially, is the urge to get a &quot;great deal&quot;.&nbsp; Because we want to get the most, and even beyond, for our money, many times we will not take the time to scrutinize a listing, and will jump to the bid button.&nbsp; These things are not just &quot;auctions&quot;, they are contracts.&nbsp; You should never agree to a contract until you have read EVERYTHING in the contract.&nbsp; If you do not agree with everything in the contract, then either do not sign, or make changes to it first.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife and I just had our fifth child in February, and the paperwork after admission took over a half hour because I read through each and every sentence in their forms.&nbsp; I know the nurse didn&#039;t like this much, especially when I started to cross things out and initial the changes before signing, but these things are contracts.&nbsp; Contracts are not something to make games of.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Exactly the point!&nbsp; The point is the transparency.&nbsp; Trying to deceive and make &quot;the public&quot; believe that the relationship between the &quot;grading company&quot; and the seller are something it&#039;s not.&nbsp; &quot;Self-slabbing&quot; should be noted as such.&nbsp; The fact that the coin(s) is/are over-graded is another issue.&nbsp; The issue with &quot;self-slabbers&quot; is deception regarding the source of the slabbed coin.&nbsp; Anytime an apparent conflict of interest exists, it should be noted in the legal contract.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note, I have seen plenty of &quot;top&quot; TPG slabbed coins that were grossly over-graded, especially with Proofs.&nbsp; PCGS proof Ikes are one of the worst culprits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
