<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 4501244, member: 76863"]I actually disagree there if they were to turn everything on it's head and switch to a 100 point system. First they would all have to collude with each other to do it which wouldn't happen. If ANACS or ICG tried to do it first they would go out of business. If PCGS or NGC tried to do it first the other would tout how gimmicky it is and most business would flow to the one still using the 70 point scale. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now if for the sake of argument they all did it, there would be a significant number of collectors that just say I'm done and either sell everything or stop buying more. It would likely basically kill modern collecting too. While the coins would probably eventually make their way back, it would take years if not a decade or more to replace the demand of people that just walk away not to mention the damage it would likely do to their international business expansion[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
