Wait what????????? David Hall is gone? Where did he go?????? Gah. There went PCGS........ David Hall was cool. edit
Well I'm glad he's happy and doing him. It does makes me quite sad, as he was THE face of PCGS and basically numismatics in general when I started out as a teen.
With the health issues that he had it's probably better for him to be back dealing and away from the added stress. Orlando probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Hopefully he will listen to a lot of the suggestions being made in the CU thread about submission price restructuring.
I'm being silly. Possible folks that could be brought in. Mark Salzberg, Rick Montgomery, Laura Sperber or her partner Bruce, David Bowers, Mark Feld, Steve Ivy. Trump is probably too busy.
It's pricing structure is the quickest way to increase submissions. Not being very conservative with their grades would be the other but they can't come out and say hey sorry we were too conservative for the last year we're back to normal now.
Reducing prices is a Band-Aid, and will not fix what ails them . . . if they don't fix their real problems, reducing prices will merely delay the inevitable.
