[QUOTE="Rick B, post: 4639700, member: 113624"]Pleases show me where I was putting anyone down. Here are my posts that show that I prefer raw but I don't put down slab collectors: I know my criticism of slabs does NOT apply to all coin collectors. And no matter what I say, I still agree that it's an individual matter. My thoughts are initial as a newbie and a generalization. I want to emphasize what I said at the end of my post because this is my strongest belief about it: "I still agree that it's an individual matter". In other words, to each their own and good luck to all of us! A lot of good points about TPG's. Again, I'm a newbie so I may change my tune over time. I'm allowing for that! But I think I'll always prefer raw. But I may indulge in slabs some day for higher priced coins. I never said having coins certified has no point. It is just a matter of what one likes. I'm a raw guy. That doesn't mean I see no point in certification. Sure, I'm not promoting them (slabs). But I'm not AGAINST them. I just am not interested in them myself. You make it sound like I'm putting people down for using them. Nowhere in my posts does it remotely say that. I will buy slabbed coins but I will break them out. There is a compromise: for high value coins I could buy a slabbed coin but break it out for my collection. The hobby aspect of it is more important to me than concern about reselling it. My very first post could use some editing after further consideration, but I would point out that many “like” it.
