<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8238336, member: 105098&quot;]I didn&#039;t mean they were the same service, or were accepted equally, I meant they offer the same type of service, a sticker as an opinion on a slabbed coin that someone else has already made an opinion on, if it&#039;s &quot;top of the grade&quot;, CAC doesn&#039;t do Moderns, MAC and QA ONLY do moderns. both appeared in 2015-2016.&nbsp; </p><p>I wasn&#039;t trying to discuss market acceptance either. in time perhaps MAC or QA get that market share. CAC started in like 2007 or something. </p><p><br /></p><p>Other stickers are in the discussion because CAC refuses to do anything with modern coins at all, so other companies have popped up to fill that void.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And totally unrelated, but on topic,&nbsp; the guy I was thinking about in the earlier post that was all over the place was John Albanese, co founder of PCGS in 1986, Founder of NGC in 1987, and founder of CAC in 2007. it all falls back to the ANA and coin dealers, a few dealers in particular, endorsements that are paid for, who advises who of what should or shouldn&#039;t be accepted on Ebay as &quot;graded&quot; (that was Albanese also) . I mean, I&#039;m no conspiracy theorist but I am one.... Seems like this guy had it out for ANACS and/or thought he could do it better and made some money by making some competitors against them, then making CAC to double verify those select companies he founded for some more money basically to cherry pick the sweetest coins for him and David Lawrence. </p><p>Nothing against the guy, or his business sense, he figured a way into a lot of people pockets over the years. I&#039;m alright with that. Just saying, Albanese would have been 13 when ANACS came on the scene, but, before he turns 30 he&#039;s an expert and founding companies to compete against them.... literally he appears in the hobby at 19, in 1978, and he&#039;s one of the biggest names out there 40 years later. I&#039;m a bit jealous actually LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
