<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 24866335, member: 36248&quot;]I found the video quite interesting.&nbsp; &nbsp; It was well worth watching for the direct comparison between the new kid on the block and the OG&#039;s.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Most, but not all, the copper being bagged QC.&nbsp;&nbsp; I agree with Most, but not all, of the &quot;Scratched&quot; coins being bagged.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One or two coins, I was very surprised that they ended up in Problem slabs, although we cant really see the full picture from the video.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe CACG is correct on ALL of them, in the sense that I would agree if I had them in hand myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>People were worried initially I think about CACG being too similar to PCGS / NGC.&nbsp; &nbsp; (Meaning, what&#039;s the point of another TPG.)&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Other people were worried about them being too strict on the numerical grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think what this video helps demonstrate is something I didn&#039;t hear too many people contemplating about, which is that in a lot of ways they probably will be similar to the other Big Two TPGs, but where they very well may differentiate themselves is how hard they will be on problem coins that would easily pass muster at the other places.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Busting doctored coins, and coins that for too long clearly were pushing the boundaries of damaged.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Are they being TOO harsh in their infancy to build up street cred?&nbsp; Maybe.</p><p><br /></p><p>This sort of creates a similar dynamic to how the CAC sticker worked into peoples thought process when shopping a coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; If this coin isn&#039;t in a CACG holder, why isn&#039;t it?&nbsp;&nbsp; (is it a problem coin?)&nbsp; &nbsp; Did someone crack this out of a CACG holder to get a clean grade at the &quot;easier&quot; TPGs?&nbsp; (doubt creeping in)&nbsp;&nbsp; Can I trust I am buying a correctly graded coin if its still in the legacy TPGs plastic? (more doubt) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; Couple this with the increased difficulty of getting a clean grade a CACG creating an exclusivity / prestige factor (my coins are better than your coins&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />),&nbsp; and they may well have a winning formula.</p><p><br /></p><p>Time will tell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
