<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 1685171, member: 4920"]That's as misleading as it is naive. To Clutchy, what you want to understand is this. Once that raw coin gets into that plastic, all bets are off, not only on the grade, but on the price that coin trades at. If that plastic says that coin is an MS64 and nine out of ten bidders are seeing and bidding it as an AU58 because they're looking at the coin and not the plastic they're going to lose to that one bidder who's brainwashed enough to bid it on the plastic and not the coin. Once that coin gets into that plastic, everything else is irrelevant. The grade is the grade the TPG says it is, and the price is the price in the TPG's price guide. That doesn't always mean the coin will trade at that price. It means that's how you bid the coin. You bid it at that plastic grade, at that plastic price. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's a game, now, you see. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
