<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KeyHunter, post: 26727836, member: 122558&quot;]Just between you and me...I take public gripes with a grain of salt sometimes since collectors needs a place to vent frustration and these forums are the place to do it God bless &#039;em. My quality observatory telescopes and model train prices are through the roof compared to the past. Starbucks is still in business (but stock hurting a bit) and the bottled water market just keeps flowing. Beef and coffee prices are partially due to drought and weather systems but people keep buying. IMHO the REAL contemporary thievery in numismatics are the already mentioned 3rd party slabbed First strike, First release, Signature slab labels, collecting by slab (Slabology?), grade inflation. Yup...if people want it enough they will pay for it. Sometimes I feel bad for the newby or young coin collector venturing into coin collecting these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
