Message:: [QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 3722921, member: 36248"]I'm a weirdo I guess, the NGC no-line Fatty is my #1 favorite slab, even more so than the Doily.  I greatly prefer it over he modern NGC slabs.  And I specifically dont like the rattler. So to me, I wouldn't want to crack open a Fatty unless it was unsalvageable with deep scratches or cracks, or if crazy money could be made. I also tend to think MOST (but not all)  NGC fatties would have already been examined for possible upgrades. I personally did an experiment (well really normal submissions) with about 30 NGC fatty holders to CAC, not looking for crossovers or upgrades and most of them back green stickers, a few with gold stickers, and very very few failed to CAC.   The coins I submitted were mostly Walking Liberty Halves and Morgans in the <$100 category,  so mostly overlooked by other people as not being worth the time.   My conclusion would be most were correctly graded as far as TPG and CAC are concerned, as the majority didn't come back "Exceeded" aka CAC Gold stickers, and few few failed.    I think the upgrade game might not work on most generic fatties, as they are already "correct".  So, take that for what its worth.
