<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2456123, member: 77639&quot;]CAC being a dealer makes me wonder about potential for conflict of interest.&nbsp; Possibilities: 1. Buy un-stickered slabs, put on stickers and re-sell them for a higher price. 2. When slabs are submitted for grading, make offer to submitter, then for acquired slabs, put on stickers and re-sell them.&nbsp; There are variations on these scenarios.&nbsp; Do they have a &quot;Chinese wall&quot; between their grading department and trading department?&nbsp; Many large banks have a barrier between their trading department and other departments.&nbsp; In the case of banks though, government regulators keep an eye on things (not always successfully); doubt that happens at CAC.&nbsp; Hard to know whether company-owned coins get special consideration by the grading department.&nbsp; It can be a subtle, slippery slope.&nbsp; Ever see a slab with a green sticker and wonder why such a coin merited it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
