This, 1000% this. Forget the silly little "buy the coin" mantra and read this post, over and over!
NO, their reputation isn't the result of marketing, it is the result of being the best coin grading company for decades.
So you spend the better part of your time on this forum bashing PCGS, but when you want a coin graded, you choose PCGS. Care to explain that logic?
I will go with the scoreboard, the one that drives the highest prices for the grade has the best reputation, and is therefore, the best grading...
Seriously? That is a quintessential bag toned Morgan. The fact that you don't know that and your moniker is toned_morgan confuses me greatly.
When I ask him to prove that PCGS straight grades cleaned coins more often than ANACS, saying that ALL TPGS do it doesn't not end the debate....

This is probably the best post in this entire thread, and looks like it was widely ignored. A logical perspective of the TPGs and the virtues...
Yes, we both do, because it is a foolish maxim. Imagine the hubris of a collector who thinks his grading skills are so phenomenal that he has...
Two things, first, what the hell are your talking about? You hope that the "TPGs haven't saturated the market with unrealistic grades?" Is this...
You just made that up, didn't you? Originality bump? In all my years collecting coins, I have never heard anyone say that. Listen, just because...
I think you misunderstood my comment to Doug, and the fact that you did so is evidence of your extreme bias against the TPGs. In that scenario,...
