    I thought he was going to buy ICG and make it a world class grading company...

    I think he realized that just like guessing a grade after a reveal, it's easier to take a world class grading company and keep it a world class grading company. :D

    Haha, I just hope he opens that Manhattan office for it so I can get faster turn around times

    So what is the general consensus of what this will mean for PCGS?
    Better? Worse? About the same?
    Will grading fees increase?

    I doubt much will change honestly. CU is also much more than just PCGS. They have a very wide range of other brands that are also successful. I can't imagine they would change much.

    One day after the rumors that Ed Wood was buying ICG, CU sells out. They saw the writing on the wall, they know what is coming, and they want no part of Ed Wood.

    Likely nothing. If anything it takes away the ability for people to try and attack them for being public. It doesn’t seem like a hands on style investment like if the wood group would have taken it over LOL. Regardless they could always go public again if they wanted

    Yes, the thread about the virus got religious and Peter nuked it - in its entirety.

    We will see as more announcements are made.
    Currently everything seems to have slowed down but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the sale (maybe increase in submissions, more stringent lockdown measures, and fewer employees available to handle daily tasks).
