<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1123235, member: 24633&quot;]Okay, here&#039;s the short version of the ANACS/ICG story, and someone please correct me if I&#039;m in error on any of the details.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The &quot;old&quot; ANACS was located in Ohio, and they had a fairly good reputation for grading. At that time, I believe they were rated #3 behind PCGS (#1) &amp; NGC (#2) and ICG was #4. ANACS moved to Texas, and during their time there, they introduced the new blue slab (which, by the way, you could break open just by twisting it in your hands).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the meantime, one of the executives at ICG in Colorado, made a failed attempt at buying ICG. He left the company and tendered an offer to buy ANACS which was accepted. He then moved ANACS to Colorado and lured ICG graders to join his staff, and supposedly fired some of the ANACS employees who went to work for ICG. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This instate rivalry only served to damage the reputations of both companies, and they have never been the same since.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
