<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eaglefawn, post: 2545990, member: 82237&quot;]I can&#039;t help but think the Merchandizers are behind all of this to bump up sales and act like it&#039;s ok to charge peeps more for a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the otherhand, I rather view all of this label business like it&#039;s a business alright...monkey business me thinks.</p><p><br /></p><p>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&#039;s the point of the signature on that label?</p><p><br /></p><p>My concern is that new collectors to the hobby really may get taken in by the schmooze and that&#039;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.</p><p><br /></p><p>We want to encourage Young people into the hobby...and while it&#039;s said get the book before the coin...there&#039;s just so much one can do/read fast enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>We don&#039;t want new persons to become so overwhelmed they can&#039;t play in the sandbox due to reading paralysis.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re all so great, and willing to share your knowledge I hope everyone in the hobby will find you!! I&#039;m certainly glad I&#039;ve found you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
