    I think we have a winner!!

    Marketing is the whole deal here - and I'll bring it out in another way as well:
    In the company I used to co-own we sold a product designed for funeral homes - the market really only have 5 major players and several little ones. Our product made us very likely to be a major player, and we were working on that. It's a long story on why I sold, and why we didn't make it before I left, but the bottom line is marketing.
    Our product had the backing of major funeral directors. Ours had a better price, and MORE value. We have services that NO OTHER provider has. We had better support....
    BUT what we didn't have was the $$$ for markting. The 2 biggest companies in this game both were multi-million dollar companies who spent millions every year JUST in markeitng.

    It wasn't that they had a better product - theirs was good.
    Sometimes they had a price that could be more than double.
    Sometimes they had hidden fee's.
    Support was lacking.

    BUT MAKRETING was what they had - when people went to think about getting a product, they thought of THEIR name and ordered based on that.

    PCGS had done a ton of marketing and while I think NGC has as well, there are alot of un-informed buyers out there who have just heard PCGS for so long that it is what they preach.

    In conclusion

    So, I ignore both coins and look for a less expensive ICG70?
