[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1050323, member: 307"]Gary, There is a basic problem with your argument for TPG slabbing. If in 30 years TPGs have gone the way of the Edsel, then the whole value and grade thing will probably be worthless. PCGS may be long out of business by then, or could have degraded into a modern day self-slabber. Some would argue how much it is worth currently, but I digress. The slabs are good protection from damage due to handling, but a LOT more costly than air-tites when postage and insurance are factored in. The air-tites may also give more environmental protection to the coins in the long run.[/QUOTE]
