I recently heard the NGC has been compromised by chinese fake masters, so I'm not sure that you can really trust any TPG. It is truly a sad situation.

It's not foolproof, but at least it is another step or process they need to worry about when trying to sell fakes.
I'm going to get all my rare/keys slabbed for ease of selling if and when I do so.

Busthalf, since you are starting a type set I would agree with buying the coins already slabbed......there is no way of becoming familiar enough with each series to buy raw. That said, why limit yourself to the coins in ngc holders? You almost triple your choices by including pcgs and anacs as well. Also, pcgs coins will hold their value better than ngc or anacs.

What type of set are you looking to put together? NGC has multi-coin holders for smaller sets (like date) that would look pretty cool and keep the plastic to a minimum.
