[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 3209090, member: 73995"]Yes, that would be ridiculous. Not because it would get an improper grade, but because the market says that they are inferior. Their coins get bumped down just because of the slab it is in. As long as folks keeps praising Pcgs and NGC. This won't change. They are held up as being infallible. Especially when folks can play the crack and resubmit game until they get the grade they want. I say that because a person is more than likely to buy the slab and not the coin. Just because they said it is. For example, AU coins are now graded MS. They let the standards fly right out the window. And Folks accept it. How can any smaller less popular grading service go up against these two when the rules are constantly changing? So ANACS and ICG tighten their standards. What happens? Folks buy them up and send them to PCGS or NGC, (whichever they prefer) get a higher grade and profit from their service. How about this? They play the same game as the top two and Market grade. They are then held to a different standard and looked at as inferior. There is no way that they win in that situation. I think that ICG does a great service as does ANACS for their attributing capability's. No company can win if they aren't allowed to play by the same rules.[/QUOTE]
