<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2676423, member: 36230"]This is a question I've encountered many, many times over the years, and is one usually asked by someone new or newer to the hobby who is either looking to make money, or doesn't want to pay the price of admission for the coins they want (aka "deal seeker"). This may not be the case with you, but please ask yourself this: if "consistently profiting" was as easy as simply buying basement slabs and resubmitting the coins inside, why is such an obvious opportunity being ignored, not only by dealers, but also the collectors paying up for coins on top tier holders? The answer is quite simple, and that's as with most everything else in this business/hobby, knowledge is key. Can coins be found in basement holders that are genuinely worthy of resubmission? Absolutely, but they're also generally few and far between, so if one doesn't know what they're doing, and possess the knowledge and talent to reasonably grade to whatever top TPG "standards", it's nothing more than a trap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
