[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 319112, member: 6370"]this is a false sense of security... The coin is the same coin slabbed or not...its worth exactly the same...the coin did not change when you slabbed it...you are now paying for a false sense of security for a slip of paper in a slab from a grading service manned by collectors no different than me and you...and certainly prone to make big mistakes (well known mistakes of the WORST kind), to give you a bit of peace of mind... I wouldnt mind it if it were just end collectors who wanted to slab the coin after the sell...its the scummy practice of hiking coin prices by buying them cheaper unslabbed, slabbing them, then selling them for 20-30% more just to eek a bit of extra cash out of a collectors pocket than irks me...it causes coin prices to go up for us collector who couldnt give a rats behind about a slab and dont want to pay for that slab now that the bottom feeder flipper raised the price for real collectors. Not to mention the fact that these people outbid real colelctors for these coins so they can win it and sell it for more...they are bottom feeders and these TPGs and people who buy into them give them the ability to do this.[/QUOTE]
