<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3307223, member: 1765"]First, the new president, Brett Charville, introduced himself and some of the others in attendance. No fee increases for 2019, slight shipping cost decrease. They're coming down on coin docs, including banning them from submitting, but didn't go into details. The biggest part of the presentation was that there were a lot of superficial changes being done with the registry and CoinFacts. The registry will have more socializing functionality built into it, encouraging people to look at others' coins and interact with other collectors, and participating in some drawings that start today. The one CoinFacts change that set everyone on edge was the removal of the "view all images" button. Needless to say, almost nobody took this well. The reason given was collector privacy, but not everyone is buying that. It seems, based on what is happening on the PCGS forum, that he's going to look into this further, with his latest message saying that it was best to "...put the image galleries into 'time out.'" After the luncheon, I spoke with Brett about their plan to start using external consultants for variety attribution, told him about my attribution business and gave him my card.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
