They have access to more raw material by going to many shows or buying from the public. They benefit from high volumes. When was a dealer the usual results were mostly properly graded coins, a few “gifts” which were over graded and a few grossly under graded or unwarranted body bags. Today body bags are “details holders.” The grading services think you will resubmit such pieces which enhances their sales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
