<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 4186622, member: 59737"]No... this assumes an even distribution and that they are mutually inclusive. There is no guarantee that there will be a fake in 800, there is merely a probability of .125% that you'll get one. That is an extremely low percentage. That means that you can buy slabs with a 99.875% certainty that they're real. We've already agreed that this is a guess number anyway, but the point I'm trying to make with the statistics is that it's not nearly the threat the OP tried to make it sound like and we don't need to be telling newcomers not to buy PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
