Do You Think TPGs Will Last?

I wrote a response but it sounded like such a rant. So, I will say this only;

To those who say in twenty or thirty years all coins of $100 will be certified I can only say if I am alive and collecting that will not be true as My collection will not be in a TPG holder. But then people tell me I am weird all the time.

They are no bubble. They are successful because so many people want convenience and instant grading, not wanting to bother to learn how to grade which is a real fun part of the hobby. We get into fights over that. It's like when convenience foods took over the made from scratch foods. Quick, instant, ready to sell. Drive through windows, instant messaging, microwave warm up, faster downloads; all part of the same phenomenon. There will always be raw too. Many collectors, especially copper and Bust halves just love to break those coins out of their plastic coffin to get a real look and feel. Because anything you love, you want to touch. People, coins, pets, cars you name it....
