<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1571270, member: 37925&quot;]I&#039;m digging through past auction records in Track &amp; Price, and I see a remarkable difference in prices paid for CGA notes versus PCGS or PMG notes of the same grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that CGA is not top gun, but I figured they are well known and respected enough to command somewhat similar prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was surprised when I looked at Fr. 2300 the $1 Hawaii Silver Certificate in 68 grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS 68 PPQ - August 2012 - $1,645. </p><p>CGA 68 - April 2012 - $370. </p><p>PCGS 68 PPQ - April 2012 - $1,035.</p><p>PCGS 68 PPQ - January 2012 - $1,380. </p><p>CGA 68 OPQ - November 2011 - $361.66.</p><p><br /></p><p>This pattern repeats itself among other notes and grades as well. I didn&#039;t think that CGA was so lenient or so disrespected in their grading to result in such a dramatic difference in price. </p><p><br /></p><p>If they were that much more lenient I would expect many more CGA notes when compared to PCGS. Looking through past auctions, they&#039;re very close. For 68 grade, we have 12 CGA and 9 PCGS, with 1 PMG which hooked $2,185 in 2008. For 67 grade, we have 32 CGA vs 34 PCGS vs 30 PMG.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So why is there such a dramatic difference in price? Why all the hate for CGA?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
