<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GreenPVCHaze, post: 1904857, member: 68310&quot;]Dutchman, all of that is true, and I can see both sides of the coin on this (pun intended). I consider him to be *somewhat* innocuous on the huckster spectrum, certainly more misleading and dishonest than a Rick Tomaska, but he didn&#039;t tell as many outright lies as Mike Mezack does regularly on HSN.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sure, his items were overpriced and he used weasel words to imply rarity and/or value, but he isn&#039;t as horribly dishonest as some of the self-slabbers on eBay, who sell cleaned and damaged junk in holders they sealed in their garage as MS70&#039;s. It can be debated whether it&#039;s a worse buy to purchase a significantly overgraded MS70 in a self-slabber holder, or an extremely overpriced PCGS/NGC coin or proof set (whatever) from Robert Chambers at CoinVault.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All in all, he wasn&#039;t the absolute worst coin crook on TV in my opinion, though he certainly left thousands of people with overpriced coins that will never reach the value they paid for them in the owners&#039; lifetimes. Is Littleton any worse? Also debatable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really did enjoy his presentations, but purely for their entertainment value. It&#039;s like someone that knows plenty about sports watching a random Shop-At-Home host selling sports collectibles. It&#039;s sure to provide a few laughs because of their blatant ignorance about the items they&#039;re selling. Chambers was like the used car salesman of the TV Coin world, but I&#039;m glad he&#039;s no longer in pain and can rest in peace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
