    Very carefully. :) Find every site everywhere that disparaged the product and sue them all - seems like that is what one person did. :)

    Did you list in order of worst or best graders?

    I stick with NGC, PCGS and perhaps ANACS on a rare occasion. Call me a simpleton if you wish. I like simple.

    You might be right about the gold label holders. I think overall every TPGS at one point and time either was overly conservative or the opposite. JMHO.

    ROFL....IMHO chill out...it was just my opinion. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. Everyone has their reason for liking and not liking certain TPGS...from what I am hearing from you...you might work or have worked for this TPGS. In any case, the OP asked for an opinion and I gave it. Period. ;)

    The worst grader EVER was Dr. Sparks (her PhD was in U.S. History)...my 11th grade U.S. History teacher...one day in front of the class I asked her..."Is the capital of Kentucky pronounced Louieville or Louisville?" She responded, "Louieville I suppose", I said no Maam, it's Frankfort.
    WORST grade ever! But I did get an A- on D-Day Invasion paper.

    I think we have been posting about terrible grading mistakes by the "fly-by-nights" not the conservative/liberal fluctuations the TPGS's go through due to market conditions and pressure from the big customers.

    I own one single PCI graded coin. A 1921 Morgan graded MS62 PQ. Looks accurately graded to me.

    Not sure about ICS but here in Canada there is ICCS International Coin Certification Service.

    The two graders notorious for being bad are NNC and SGS.

    Maybe in your "Hood" the STATEMENT "A MS-61 coin graded at PCI MS67 or higher." is accepted as an opinion?, but in my hood it's accepted as a "Defamation Of Character" and opinioned as a blatant lie.

    It was believed that a "smart aleck" as yourself started the past ACG principals lawsuit, previously mentioned heretofore. It appeared that many others felt obligated to continue the defamation process until they had an opportunity to defend themselves in a Civil Action.

    My request was extended as a civil request to share your stated evidence with us, but your response is indicative of statement credibility.

    My post was intended as a suggestion to substantiate allegations, rather than possibly incite others who feel similarly compelled without a recommendation of restraint.

    I believe that some defendants in the aforementioned action were/are? participants in this venue.

    If undue offense was realized, I apologize.

    JMHO

    Reminds me of my stuck up senior year english teacher, Miss Gillano. What a looker, but she'd cut you off at the knees if ya made a wrong move with Shakespeare.

    My 5th grade teacher said she never caught poison ivy.
    I brought in a bowl of it.
    She rubbed it on her arms.
    2 days later she was all broken out and had white lotion all over her arms.

    I thought it would be obvious with the top tier in front, so from most preferred to least preferred

    I don't think your fifth grade teacher gave Wehrner von Braun anything to worry about.:confused:
