[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1711313, member: 15929"]Exactly. I love these hypocritical "ethics" threads. And no, I'm not a bad guy and my ethics are top motch but...........if folks are wanting dealers who happen across a valuable coin after the fact to cough up profits, then folks need to cough up their own profits everytime they "cherry pick" a dealer instead of whining about how they got "cherry picked" by playing the "ethics" card. I'm sorry it worked out this way for the OP but thats what happens if you don't do your homework and instead rely upon TPG Plastic. It's common knowledge that TPG's occasionally miss MPL Lincolns. It's also common knowledge that many collectors exploit this for their own gain. I cannot recall how many threads I've read where a collector is going through a dealers "junk bin" and they come across what they believe to be a MPL. They purchase the coin and then validate it as an MPL then post their "good fortune" on every forum they have access to. Sorry, but it is a two way street if you really want to play that card![/QUOTE]
