[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4336796, member: 73489"][I]Would it really cost that much to send it to PCGS and CAC ?[/I] FWIW, no way would I send it to PCGS. I never understood this whole crack-out thing as PCGS and NGC are basically interchangeable (certainly, not the case with ICG and ANACS) except for those with a hard-on for PCGS. My only problem with NGC is some of their holders aren't that aesthetically pleasing, and you can't see the edges of the coin. I can't believe that for sophisticated buyers of an expensive coin -- and the 1907 HR certainly qualifies -- that buyers are more concerned with the holder than the coin. Maybe with someone buying a 1924 or 1908 common, but not a 5-figure coin. Getting a Green CAC sticker makes more sense than doing the crossover game, IMO. Not essential either, but better than just hoping for a higher grade or getting a new holder by sending in to the other TPG.[/QUOTE]
