[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4158898, member: 78244"]There is a tool on the Coin Community Forum that will allow you to look up eBay images even after the listings have been purged from eBay. There might be other tools as well. Great points! I am going to be revising this article based on the discussion here to disseminate to the collecting community. I view it as a necessary evil, but I do see your point. With the relaxed timer and the single more step of selecting the grade, it isn’t that much more inconvenient then the PCGS system. I think these issues are greatly resolved by scanning slabs with the app. This is my major criticism with NGC. It makes sense that they don’t want to make good free photos so that people won’t pay for their photo service. It would greatly improve the hobby as a whole to raise the grading fees for everything and include good photos for every coin for no additional cost (except ASEs). It might actually prove to be a popular decision. I highly doubt this. This is what it has to take to be safe nowadays. The only inhibitor is getting the info to everyone. At least half of all collectors (from my experience) are completely unaware that fake slabs exist. That is way too many.[/QUOTE]
