<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 3856936, member: 20480&quot;]I completely agree John.&nbsp; I refuse to give in to the notion that CAC will define which coins should be bought and which should not.&nbsp; I am still able to get fair money for solidly graded coins and strong prices for demonstrably strong coins without the bean, and believe others can too.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will certainly pay strong money for nicer coins for the grade that bear no CAC sticker, and feel it is a crutch for those who know too little, and merely an aid to those who know enough, but it is not indispensable by any stretch of the imagination.</p><p><br /></p><p>What will save this market is independence from such crutches as CAC stickers and third party grading, and the growth of dependence on one’s own acquired skills and knowledge.&nbsp; If we get better at grading and valuing coins, based on their attributes and true demand relative to supply, it will be difficult for unscrupulous sellers to take unfair advantage, and just as difficult for buyers to get mired in coins no one else will want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
