Is the excitment and the potential disappointment greater...

... for those that submit only a few coins per year versus those that are submitters of many coins on a frequent basis?

If you were once a collector that submitted a few coins occassionally and now submit large numbers of coins, as a flipper or dealer, have you noted a difference in your "feelings" when grades are posted or when the coins are back in hand? Or does the excitment or disappointment remain due to the potential financial returns involved?

    I'd guess that the collector who submits small numbers of coins is more personally and emotionally invested than the dealer or flipper who is always submitting.

    Submitting coins to PCGS will most definitely MAKE you screen coins much more thoroughly!

    The excitement & potential disappointment are very real and still a huge part of it.

    The potential for letdown is real and inevitably makes better screeners/ graders out of us all.
