[QUOTE="Eaglefawn, post: 2545990, member: 82237"]I can't help but think the Merchandizers are behind all of this to bump up sales and act like it's ok to charge peeps more for a coin. A pedigree buy (tho very important to some...my ignorance shows here) is up to the purchasers taste, and I think we all agree with that. On the otherhand, I rather view all of this label business like it's a business alright...monkey business me thinks. Early Release, First Strike etc which we all acknowledge is hooey and when I buy a 1995 Silver Proof JFK 1/2 with the Kennedy signature on it how silly is that...the poor man was murdered in 1963...what's the point of the signature on that label? My concern is that new collectors to the hobby really may get taken in by the schmooze and that's a shame. Yes, while it is incumbent on the buyer to be aware...this hobby is so vast no one but no one can know everything which is why I also believe these chats are so very important to benefit especially new peeps to the hobby. We want to encourage Young people into the hobby...and while it's said get the book before the coin...there's just so much one can do/read fast enough. We don't want new persons to become so overwhelmed they can't play in the sandbox due to reading paralysis. You're all so great, and willing to share your knowledge I hope everyone in the hobby will find you!! I'm certainly glad I've found you.[/QUOTE]
