    I am good with ANACS roll top holders along with 5 & 6 digit soap boxes from a bygone era.
    I am a-ok with goodies in PCGS & NGC slabs too.
    And as crazy as it may be, I am fine with sourcing RAW coins too. Most coins I buy are RAW, no slabby necessary.

    I don't slab any coins. Mail away and pray. Not interested. Not necessary for me.

    Prospective coins housed in a slab does not keep me from buying coinage that's available. I am not anti slab.
    I do not hold it against a coin that somebody stuck in a slab. It's just something else to consider when making a purchase. Another point of view.

    I "Buy the coin"

    I Love me some RAW coins.

    I like the services that ANACS provides...I just don't like their holder.

    ANACS is great for lower valued coins because their pricing is very competitive. I would pass on most higher priced coins because they sell for less money compared to PCGS or NGC.

    I think they have the best holders, in terms of geometry.

    So you'd rather pay MORE for the same coin ? ;)
    (I realize that is not what you meant, but that is how I interpreted it at first).

    Many people do just that Daniel. Lots of Kool-aid drinkers out there. Buy the coin not the holder. I've gotten many undergraded coins in ANACS holders on the cheap, so Kool-aid drinkers keep on drinking as long as I'm buying.

    Agreed, and shockingly, I don't even mind the yellow.

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    Nothin' wrong with ANACS. I will put my raw under $100 coins in Coin World Premier holder. These holders are high quality and same size as PCGS holder. Who wants to pay a TPG, any TPG, $50 to holder a $50 or less coin? Not me.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
