<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 2732191, member: 22602&quot;]I respect and admire your approach and would do the same thing if I were a dealer. But many of us collectors don&#039;t have time to go bargain hunting, i.e., poring over binders at shows looking for &quot;undergraded&quot; coins (while knowing it&#039;s highly unlikely the dealer hasn&#039;t already pored over his binders looking for undergraded coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead, I go right to the cases of slabs. If a coin grabs my eye from 3 feet away, I&#039;ll ask to see it. If it happens to have a CAC sticker, fine; I&#039;ll know it&#039;ll hold its value, since it&#039;s already &quot;marked as having a maximum grade&quot; (although the sticker only means it&#039;s solid for the grade, not necessarily &quot;maximum&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>But to treat the CAC sticker as if were somehow the devil dressed in green makes no sense. It&#039;s no reflection on one&#039;s grading, just another opinion and one the market has proved valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
