Why was my topic removed? Is Big Brother watching?

I had some questions about the usefulness of the secondary CAC certification, and results were insightful and neither condemning nor hugely in favor. I guess any radical discussion of big brother is strictly forbidden. I have tried to reseach the archives on CAC and could find nothing there either. I guess if they keep us quiet, we'll just have to cow down and keep sending them money.

Really, guys, I was trying to make up my mind as to whether or not my coins needed this sticker. I guess you made it up for me. Thanks!

    Yes PCGS sends 'messages' to us that way. God used to use burning bushes..........


    Just the other day they deleted my thread about upgrading an ms66rd svdb.


    I think they said "yes, send it in"

    They told you "CAC adds to the value of a slabbed coin, but we have something like that ourselves in the works"

    Some would say Its mostly another scam, interested parties here may have a financial stake in the cac.

    Most opinions I have read, place no value at all in the sticker. A little sticker does not make a big difference.
    Therefore deleting the articles is better, Because there is little good publicity coming from the community.

    Better still as bad publicity reflects a 25 million dollar loss, sweeping it under the carpet seems like the best way in the end for those who do have a stake in the company.
    Of course to Pass one over on the little guy, or too scam the unsuspected.

    Thinking any mentioned grading parties will ever honor the stickers for cross over is wrong, and that reflects a grading policy that still limits grades on high value coins, making any other opinion besides there own a worthless statement.

    Is this there way of saying we are as good as the big two in hopes of breaking it big into the market place.
    Is it for there own stake in the TPG market share, or does Big TPG wish to distribute market share among themselves.
    Of course if thats the case, Insurance costs could be lowered, and transparency expanded.

    I wonder if they will end up merging with the big two, or maybe it is a spin off in the works.
    Maybe CAC just hopes to exceed the other tpg that are not included in the big 3, or find acceptance and favor from them.

    Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. Same thing happened to this guy.

    First of all, the inquiry, by the aid of the microscope and electrical instruments of precision, into the nature of our organs and senses, and particularly of those through which we commune directly with the outside world and through which knowledge is conveyed to our minds, has revealed their exact construction and mode of action, which is in conformity with simple and well established physical principles and laws. Hence the observations we make and the facts we ascertain by their help are real facts and observations, and our knowledge is true knowledge

    I have found power in the mysteries of thought.

    It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.

    Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

    You needed help deciding if your coins NEEDED a cac sticker? image
    No coin NEEDS it...only insecure collectors NEED the sticker

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Actually, I was trying to be as passive aggressive toward those who removed my previous topic as possible. You know, to make them feel like dummies. I never really had any intention to start a slamfest against the CAC, but if they're going to pull my thread just for talking about it, I think I have a right to be as b!thcy as I want to. I never really had any intention to posterize my pretty plastic with seemingly meaningless stickers without some serious argument from the community.

    I'd like to believe that the folks grading/grade confirmation for CAC are probably good enough to grade for PCGS too, so if they think an NGC coin is a lock to cross why would you not believe them [tho its true that we are not seeing the 3rd side as ong as the coin is slabbed]. I'd bet their crossover submission rate would be higher than most here. I wonder what gets submitted more, PCGS stuff or NGC stuff?

    I'd guess that there are probably a LOT more insecure collectors out there than most people think. This board is just the teeniest tip of the ice berg when it comes to coin collecting. Whats the difference between getting a sticker or hiring the eyes of a big time dealer to do your collecting for you cuz yer too busy, but you got a thick checkbook.

    Starting a slamfest against the CAC would not be considered a problem. You have missed the entire reason for your thread being pulled.

    PCGS considers CAC competition, and any talk of them will get a thread pulled.
