<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 4149203, member: 76863&quot;]No they aren&#039;t, nor are the old NGC ones without pictures.&nbsp; There are so many more dangers for collectors than fake slabs that they wouldn&#039;t even be in the top 10.&nbsp; Slimy dealers, AUs being sold as MS, fake raw coins, being price gouged, cracked out details coins being sold problem free etc all much bigger threats for collectors and many of them never even realize it happened to them till many years later if at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>The PCGS slab website is a great tool for people to learn about the different slabs if they want.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/holders" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/holders" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/holders</a></p><p><br /></p><p>More PCGS coins get pictured than you give credit for as well.&nbsp; All world coins besides modern get pictures, everything graded overseas is pictured, the high value ones US coins do as well as gold shield. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would I like to see them all be pictured yes I would, but the basic premise that they&#039;re dangerous until they do is just completely off base.&nbsp; Brett has already said that will likely happen in the future. </p><p><br /></p><p>NGC doesn&#039;t always do even a decent job with their pictures either, particularly with moderns there are a number where you really can&#039;t make a solid match and someone new certainly couldn&#039;t.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s never going to be a perfect system.&nbsp; It&#039;s always going to be like weapons and body armor, sometimes the weapon is made to defeat superior body armor and other times the body armor is a response to the superior weapon.&nbsp; That&#039;s always how it has been and always how it will be.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Going forward though yes between PCGS and NGC since Brett has taken over PCGS has been much more innovative and years from now that appears like it will be significantly more than today.&nbsp; If you really are looking towards the future I would put my money on the younger forward thinking team out west.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
