CACG launched its grading service in Oct 2023. I immediately disliked the larger size of the holders . . . One more PITA size to deal with! That really set me off. The obvious oneupmanship didn’t help much either, so I went on a crusade to avoid CACG coins inasmuchas I could . . . That lasted 3 years! I finally saw a coin that I couldn't live without the other day, and bought it. I feel some remorse over having settled for a CACG coin, but I’ll live with my decision. I’ll post photos when I have time.
I think the worst thing about the CACG slabs is that there’s a green CAC bean icon even on “details” coins…. at least, if you keep the bean, make it gray or a more neutral color, but not green.
