<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 1896970, member: 9474"]I am not going to disagree with one word that you have said, but you basically summed up the hobby and where it is at in a nut shell. Collectors are paying gobs of money for labels. The TPGs recognize this. Collectors have paid tons of money for the Eric P Newman labels, they paid tons of money for the Chicago labels and yes, they are going to pay tons of money for the Saddle Ridge hoard labels. This is not new news. The TPGs know this and have even come out and stated as such with the Saddle Ridge hoard labels. This is the future. There has to be winners and losers in this game. Wouldn't you rather have the small guy like me win instead of the big shot dealers or do you just want everyone to lose.....or maybe you just want everyone to win? That sounds great if everyone would win, but that would defeat the purpose of gambling....and basically me and everyone who bought our coins early, had them slabbed and sold them on ebay were gambling. It could have very well gone the other way. Whats that saying..."there is no winning for losing"...or something like that. There has and always will be a winner and loser. I learned this the hard way back in 2001 when I dragged my feet and didn't buy the buffalo dollars. It was my first one since the commemorative program restarted that I missed....and I never missed another one again. Keeping with the baseball theme, like the great Yogi Berra said, "The future ain't what it used to be kiddo". Well the kiddo part is from my dad, cuz he calls everyone kiddo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
