<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1963695, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m not sure whether I agree with your premise or not. See, the Mint <i>is</i> releasing these direct to the &quot;consumer&quot; -- up to five per household, from the convenience of your Web browser, to be delivered to your door. All the screaming about lines, street people and whatnot just applies to the ANA show, and to the TPGs that are working to create a perception of exclusivity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t heard anything about dealers recruiting street people to camp on the Mint&#039;s Web site and fill up the online queue...?</p><p><br /></p><p>The broader market for these coins appears not to be cornerable, especially if they&#039;re mint-to-demand. Sure, the dealers want in on the early-release label action; so do collectors, apparently, but perhaps not enough to hire stand-ins off the streets. (Remember, though, that first person in line, who brought three of his friends/family along to buy for him.) Trying to take advantage of the silly label-chasing frenzy doesn&#039;t amount to &quot;cornering the market&quot;, though -- just profit-seeking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
