<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 951042, member: 66&quot;]The ANA started ANACS in 1970 and it began operations in 1972.&nbsp; ANACS was sold by the ANA to Amos Press in 1990.&nbsp; At some point afterwards, sorry I can&#039;t recall the year, PCGS became the &quot;Official Grading Service of the ANA&quot; and they remained so until Feb 2004 when NGC out bid them to become the &quot;Official&quot; service.&nbsp; The &quot;Official&quot; service is not chosen by merit, it is open to any grading service and will be awarded to whichever one gives the ANA the most money.&nbsp; NGC and PCGS being the big boys though have much deeper pockets so no other service really has a chance to take the honor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
