<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2401944, member: 76863&quot;]In my opinion the pendulum has actually swung away from dealers and more to the collectors.&nbsp; Yes it is true some people blindly buy labels, but those people also would blindly buy dealer grades as well.&nbsp; But unlike the pre-TPG days collectors have a variety of outlets and resources to both buy and sell material with the progression of the internet.&nbsp; If your local dealer isn&#039;t a good one we are no longer forced to either wait for a show or suck it up and deal with them.&nbsp; Now a days you could build a great collection without ever dealing with a dealer if you really wanted to do it that way.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is certainly true some dealers act like every coin they have is under-graded while others will price some more accordingly to the quality they are for the grade.&nbsp; That type of dealer though where every coin they have is under-graded was around before the TPGs though.&nbsp; At least now even if someone buys a 65 that is a dog, when they go to sell they have some protection on the sell side from the label.&nbsp; They may very well have to under-price it for the grade but it is an improvement from the buy as a MS 63 then sell back as an AU 55 type things.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Completely agree, especially at half the price you coin is the no brainer choice every time between the two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
