<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 1224172, member: 4920&quot;]But I don&#039;t think one can entirely ignore the marketing aspect, Doug. In other words, which came first, the marketing or the market demand? To that end, I think we all realize, market demand follows marketing. In fact, that&#039;s the whole point of marketing, to create and drive market demand. Take a case in point on how that&#039;s done with what&#039;s going on at present with these so-called &quot;wavy steps&quot; and &quot;die trails.&quot; Before that, have you ever heard of anybody demanding these arcane things?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In a way, the question is indeed like asking, &quot;Which came first, the chicken or the egg?&quot; It&#039;s not an easy question with a clear-cut answer. But, if one were to look closely at what they&#039;re doing over at PCGS, continuing to ban members, there, who, in a manner of speaking, rock their marketing boat, it does cause one to wonder just how much of this market demand is indeed from the market, and how much of it&#039;s, rather, in the first instance, marketing-created and driven.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
