<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8237370, member: 105098&quot;]I think it all fell out of the ANA and their ANACS as a base model, and some randoms along the way with ideas on how to do it better and compete, possibly also part of the ANA to some degree.</p><p><br /></p><p>But yes, Insider, you&#039;d be correct, I can&#039;t really confirm where the connections are to tie them back really without knowing information I don&#039;t have.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to wonder if ANACS was the start of collectible authentication and grading in general, like did anyone do it earlier than ANACS in any of the other collectible fields, like cards or comics or stamps even??? Hmmmm I wonder... I know there were experts that would write opinions or give a COA, but wondering now if anyone was doing what ANACS did before ANACS did it...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
