"I don't get it"

Just like Tom Hanks in the movie "BIG", I don't get it. I like to watch coin shows on TV, or at least I used to. I do not want to offend any one, but could someone please explain why the coin shows are emphasizing "First Releases", "First Strikes", "Early Releases", or whatever else the grading services come up with. Are we being sold coins or labels? What differance does it make whether the coin was minted in January or December? I don't get it! I think I'll switch the channel to "Duck Dynasty", it makes more sense.
