Well haven't heard anything. Still in business as far as I know (if anyone has evidence I'm wrong about that, feel free to correct me). I still see a few CGA graded notes in coin stores and coin shows. But most notes I see sold are raw, so I can only conclude that third party note grading has still failed to catch on to the degree third party coin grading has, regardless of which companies do it. Some companies must still be around that grade notes, but it seems to be a dead or at least dying fad. Feel free to correct me if you have any evidence that third party note graders are still thriving but I've not seen much evidence of it lately. Something like 98% of the notes I see sold by anyone in coin stores, coin shows, eBay, etc. seem to be ungraded and I'm basing my opinion on that, not just my personal beliefs on the value (or lack thereof) of TPGs in general.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
