I think what the &quot;poor show deal&quot; crowd is trying to say is on the slabbed, recognized, clearly graded and marked coins prices are not typically cheap. And this seems to be the specific difference everyone seems to be discussing yet not clearly defining.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this difference is what the &quot;prices clearly marked on slabs&quot;</p><p>Thread was touching on as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
