Holy geez, if my progeny told me that I would instantly respond that "No, they won't!" If someone isn't interested in collecting, and just says...
I'm certain that Ron Guth, as a previous president of PCGS, is fully aware of this. He even talks about it in his article!
So, I really like the idea of a 100 point scale. It makes far more sense than some 70 point scale that was based the value of some cents 75 years...
