<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 3910264, member: 36248&quot;]I am generally pro-CAC, as many of you probably know.&nbsp;&nbsp; Back in 2012-2014, you could even have called me a full fledged CAC fanboy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, a claim I won&#039;t dispute.&nbsp; &nbsp; However, you will get no push-back from me in regards to your quote above.&nbsp; I 100% agree with you.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have absolutely seen too many coins with stickers that were just unacceptable, even unbelievable.&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; I can thank [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] for that.&nbsp; He helped train my eyes to &quot;see&quot; coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was literally blind before.&nbsp; That is not me trying to curry favor with our overlord Doug, it&#039;s quite honestly the truth and I am not ashamed to say it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, CAC is a tool, even a valuable tool, for many if not most collectors.&nbsp; Many people can look at a coin and not see it.&nbsp; You might not need it, others here might not need it, I might need it less than I did 5 years go, but that doesn&#039;t mean it should&#039;t be around for others, or is of no value at all.&nbsp;&nbsp; For that reason, I still am more a fan of CAC than not, but I definitely appreciate people who feel otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>We all can&#039;t wait to be experts before we buy our first coins, so a layered approach when buying with TPG + CAC + Trusted dealer is a mighty helpful suit of armor. </p><p><br /></p><p>I certainly don&#039;t think CAC is killing the hobby, as others in this thread seem to be suggesting.&nbsp; That to me is a wacky notion.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
