I think it's high time to start picking on the jerk again. For all of you that fear legal action, just remember:
TRUTH is the most concrete of defenses! Here's mine:
Many years ago, after Hagar had inundated the market with his crappy slabs, I went to a bourse, and
there was an Accugrade table. The dealer seated behind the table had his feet upon the table and his
chair tipped way back, and was reading a newspaper, apparently oblivious to the fact that it helps to bring
buyers to your table if you smile at them, greet them, and generally do not behave like a sociopath.
I gave a loud fakey "AHEM" and sure enuff, the face that peeked out from behind the newspaper was
good ole Mr. hagar himself. He still couldn't bring himself to greet me, but he raised one eyebrow. I quickly
whipped out my only ACG slab (it was an IKE, but that's all I recall about the specific coin), and said, "Oh, I
am glad to see you here... I want to show you something..."
I then twisted the slab with my hands, there was a "pop", and I then separated the now unsealed slab
halves and set the two pieces and the freed coin on his table and remarked, " I think you need to tweak
your sonification process or something!"
I thought to myself that surely he would offer to reseal the coin in a new holder. But no, instead he
shrugged his shoulders, picked up his newspaper and resumed reading!
That was the first and last time I ever submitted a coin for Crapugrading.

PS: The above statement is a viewpoint and should not be construed as a statement of fact, I have never met the man and have no views about him whatsoever, however bad they may be.
<< <i>Who's Alan Hagar?
I think he's Sammy's younger brother. He's a horrible Viking, you know.

And in the end the truth will win out. But remember that after it does you still have to pay a six figure legal bill.

Man, you beat me to it!
<< <i>At a local show several years ago I saw and heard him loudly and publicly berate some kid who was working at his table (running the slabbing machine I believe.) Totally classless and unprofessional-the kid was embarassed to no end. >>
Was this kid just doing the slabbing, or the grading as well?

Nothing is to be gained, nothing is to be learned and only
heartache can come from this.**********************
