<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 392236, member: 9474"]Hey Mark thanks for your comments. You were the second person that brought up lumping both the Grey Sheet and PCGS Price Gude together. (and btw, I did mean PCGS Price Guide) In my original statement, my intention was not to lump them together, but rather use each one as an individual example. My example being a MS 64 coin for $200, doesn't matter from which guide. The point being. If it said MS 64 on the slab, that was the price that it was being offered for based on EITHER the Grey Sheet OR PCGS PG pricing for that coin. The bottom line is, I know they say to buy the coin and not the slab, and I have enough experience to tell the difference between a AU comm and UNC comm, the problem is between an MS64 and MS65 or MS63 and MS64. So the only thing I can rely on is the grade on the slab. How can I argue that I won't pay MS65 prices because I think the coin is a MS64. I can't - so either I buy the coin at the grade that is assigned or I don't buy it at all and I have chosen not to buy at all. </p><p> </p><p>Did anyone ever have one of those threads that they immediately regretted posting. Well this is one of them. I already knew the answer to my question, but I guess I was just wanted to vent that day and posted the question to see what everyone's response would be in general. Next time I just need to suck it up. :headbang: I am friends with this guy. I just saw him today. He is a great guy, but maybe Carl has the right idea....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
