[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1575111, member: 26302"]No, this was way before that. The MS 65 bubble was the late 80's, the coins in that example were low grade MS. The MS65 bubble that accompanied the intro of slabbing was not a factor. Shysters can always be a problem, but most of these people I were talking to were buying from good dealers, and selling the coins back to the same good dealers 5-10 years later or so. People can believe what they wish. People bought gold in 1980-82 in higher periods and had to sell 5/10/15 years later and lost money. Anyone looking at a graph of gold prices in the period, and then saying "I do not think anyone lost a nickel even though the general market trend was down" can believe what they like. It boggles my mind to read that people think that, but they can if they wish. All I can say is I was there and talked to these people, and knew some of them personally. If someone who wasn't there and has no first hand knowledge believes they know better, then so be it. Chris[/QUOTE]
