[QUOTE="900fine, post: 147401, member: 6036"]... and also why slabbing by TPGs has lessened the risk. Seems to me there are two ENORMOUS factors that complement each other, and have revolutionized the hobby: TPG slabbing the Internet marketplace The Internet would be FAR more dangerous, and thus far less populated, if not for TPG slabbing. I'm not saying that TPG slabbing is perfect - a quick perusal of the "About MS70 grading" thread, still very active, proves that. I'm just saying that TPG slabbing is darn good and has given a lot of confidence to a lot of folks who might otherwise stay away - particularly for the better pieces. It's interesting to note that prices for better coins escalated dramatically in the late 80's - just as PCGS and NGC were comin' on strong. We're in another surge now... as the "TPG slabbing + Internet" combo continues to mature.[/QUOTE]
