<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 9297, member: 487&quot;]I agree whole heartly with GDJMSP. Not that it shocks me anymore. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The ANA and PNG while having standards, on most instances do not enforce them.

While some grading services have better standards, they are still not perfect. </p><p><br /></p><p>Dealers have the same issues. Most are honestly trying to be as consistant as possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>The fix? In my opinion we as dealers and collectors need to publicly voice our opinions of the good ones. Too often we reserve our comments for the bad companies. Many forums have threads on who is bad. I don&#039;t see many good dealers being mentioned. If you have a favorite dealer that has consistantly taken care of you, share that information. Let others know.</p><p>Word of mouth is a powerful thing. If everyone knew who was good, the bad would have to get better or go away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
