Sorry if I offended in regard to suspecting you and Freedner of being the same guy I have been told you are indeed a real guy (and I'm sure you have no public proclamation of smelling of urine). While I dislike the fact that you slam the CCA a lot, I believe in the mission stated, but not the execution we do agree on the slabbing idea. If you pay big dough for a chip I believe it should be authenticated and protected. The problem with grading is that the companies have been chased off down the road and they like population reporting, so, as we know in our hobby 1 known to exist can change overnight, See Cotton Club, I think there's about 400 surfaced now with no hoard alert by Kaplan (does he still do that crap?)

One practice I've heard of is dealers sitting on boxes to keep value up and I'm sure it's true as I've seen this first hand. Very grey ethics there. but as we know a box can pop up at any moment and much more frequently than a dive on a sunken ship full of Morgan dollars.

Maybe stop slamming the clubs every move and simply choose to watch and see if they improve, you certainly have knowledge that can benefit them and like to attend the show in June but you sure do share it in a weird way!
