Hey Midas, which one is you?
The fact that you are a blind PCGS follower is fine. The fact that you want to believe they are the undisputed #1 is fine. The fact that you want to look at selective criteria to defend this position is fine. Lots of people choose to be ignorant and that is fine. Everyone is free to believe what they want. However, a lot of new coin collectors read this forum and you're giving them WRONG information.
The so-called #1 grading service has gone back and forth from PCGS to NGC. It's not an if, but a when. No prayer needed. It will happen again and again.
The spread between PCGS and NGC has narrowed. This really started a couple years ago. It will likely continue.
PCGS is not the most respected service out there. In fact, they are greatly disliked by the dealer community thanks to their lack of consistency and arrogance toward their customers.
All things are not equal. Do not think that just because your coins are in PCGS slabs that they will bring you more money when you go to sell. There are many factors that come into play. Lack of consistency in grading is a major one. You need to understand this. I mean YOU REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS. Yes, YOU!
You can have instant liquidity from many dealers for an NGC or ICG coin.
