[QUOTE="zekeguzz, post: 879669, member: 15455"]Ya know ever since getting into this hobby which I love, I heard many differences of opinions on the topic the particular threads are about. This one is no different except it's got me tied up in knots. I'm confused, in a way. Should I consider CAC the " Last Word " with its sticker of approval on coins? Or is it just another group of experienced graders saying the TPGs are not being objective enough to be able to agree with each other and/or have their own " standards " they want to grade coins by. Also what grabs me is what was stated that the company, be it PCGS, ANACS, or NGC, has the final say on the grade of a coin and not the graders who work for them. That seemed to be totally against what each states as " the most honest grading company". Yet there can be good arguments for that type of policy. [SIZE=3]SO[/SIZE][SIZE=2] what does it all boil down to? I think CAC might be useful as an " ombudsman "(?) of the industry in cases of dispute. Even though they are self appointed. If you strongly diagree with you coin's grade you have one more place to go, ah to pay for. I assume no refunds are ever given for misgrading.
