No argument about which one sells for the most, never has been. And for that reason I can understand why some folks would prefer to submit some coins to them.

But what about when you're buying a coin that is already slabbed ? Does it make sense to pay more for a coin in a PCGS slab when the very same coin in the NGC or ANACS slab, which is every bit of equal quality to the coin in the PCGS slab, cost less ? I know you know better than this Midas, but that sounds an awful lot like buying the slab instead of buying the coin.

And what happens if those folks go ahead and buy the coin in the PCGS slab that cost more, and in a few years from now the price variance between coins slabbed by PCGS and NGC/ANACS disappears ? The variance has been dropping steadily for some years now and show no signs of slowing down. How much money will they lose then ?

I know you're a fan of PCGS, I have no problem with that. But to blindly make posts to try and convince others that they shoud be fans of PCGS as well - without telling the other side of the story - that I have a problem with, it just rubs me the wrong way. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, far from it. You're just voicing your opinion and you're more than welcome to do so. As long as you don't mind me voicing mine too
