[QUOTE="vipergts2, post: 470156, member: 3881"]I'm late to this party, but wanted to share some opinions. I do realize that when buying a coin off the internet or from pics it is nice to have a profesional opinion on grade and authenticity. But if the original graders from respectable tpg,s can be off a a grade or two, what makes people think that another firm can split grade a coin any better. It is almost like CAC is saying, we are the best graders in the world and you should trust only us. If the graders at CAC are so good, why don't they slab coins themselves and split grade them at that time. By looking at the coins in the example in this thread it is obvious they may not get it right any better than the original slabbers. The pics look to close in quality to say they make one coin look that much better or worse than the others. To buy a coin already stickered is one thing, but why pay to have it done. Unless enough people fall into the trap, it sure seams like a waste to me. collectors do it in the raw Investors encapsulate. :D[/QUOTE]
