<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1930526, member: 28971"]Well, apparently you are the type who could care less about the 'health' of this hobby. I report items so unknowledgeable buyers do not get stuck. I do not consider those who report items as 'ebay police', but people who do care about the stature/health of this hobby, and some of the money being spent, well, it goes beyond the 'tuition' level. Sure, you could take the 'it's their fault for not knowing any better' stance, but it casts a pall over the hobby in general. Do you want people fearing that even your slabbed coins are counterfeit, both coin AND slab? The fake slabs on ebay are getting very good, and soon, they WILL get the fonts right (they seem to be getting everything else damn close to perfection), and when that happens, all bets could be off. I, personally, don't want to have to get my coins re-slabbed every time a new security measure is taken to stay ahead of these fake slabs, and at the rate they are improving the fake slabs, it is, now, an outside possibility that we just may have to really start to consider, IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
