[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1446202, member: 2972"]I suspected you never used them.... The reason I asked is that I've read many, many similar posts about CAC, all from folks who don't like or see value in the service. Which is fine. However, if you asked people who have used the service (even those who initially disliked CAC), virtually every single one has found value in it. In fact, I cannot recall a single post that said "I sent my coins to the CAC and they are just marketing fluff". To me, that speaks volumes, but YMMV. :) Short answer: Because most are better coins and they deserve higher prices. Longer answer: If I'm interpreting your posts correctly, you're arguing some sellers are using the CAC sticker to justify an even higher price than is reasonable, and you may very well be correct -- I've seen the same thing -- but as buyers we have the ability to not buy an overpriced coin with or without a sticker, don't we? Now, consider the alternative, a slabbed (or raw) coin without any sticker but still priced at a premium level -- which would you rather buy, the TPG graded and CAC stickered coin at a premium or the raw or slabbed one priced the same? All things being equal (which they rarely are) I'd take the former virtually every time. Wouldn't you? Now, speaking from my own direct first-hand experience with CAC, I think JA did a very good job with my coins. He detected some problems I had missed, for instance, and shared his thoughts on each of my coins. Overall his assessments were close to my own, I disagreed with a few coins but agreed with many more. I found value in the service, and hope to use it again.[/QUOTE]
