No BS and straight to the point.
I am certain that Big Fredd was an Aussie in a former life.
I totally agree with Fredd's Philosophy that education is the KEY to collecting and the slobbing is for lazy collectors or for people that have no real love of coins but buy them purely for speculation.
I know and agree that our coins do have a monitary value as well as an enjoyment value.
Most of my enjoyment from my coins is the education and skill I learn as I collect them.
Bigg Fredd did his utmost to help educate everyone about coins and he spoke from the heart.
The man is a ( family unfreindly word ) legend and love or hate him He will remain so

Nicely said, Trout.

I was the one who the member contributing this email approached at the Philly show, and I don't mind saying that reading that email was a....difficult moment. It was so BiggFredd - absolutely correct, absolutely on point and deliberately provocative. He understood perfectly how to force the reader to consider his words - whether in good light or bad, you had to think about what you just saw. And that was his point.

He's left a void which won't be filled.

Whether you agreed with BiggFredd, or disagreed, there is no doubt whatsoever, he spoke from his heart and meant what he said.
I will continue to use TPG's for various reasons but, as stated above, you really have to think about what you just read...I know I did.
