[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3210037, member: 76863"]I consider then above ANACS overall and would rank their holder as the 2nd best one behind PCGS. Only the internet makes it seem that easy. Been happening for decades and some really ugly MS get graded as AU now as well. It's a good change though. It was always a stupid idea to have a hard line between AU and MS making it two different grading scales on top of each other where a completely bagged up hideous ms 60 was ranked higher than a pristine 58 because of a speck of rub on a high point. The scale is just evolving to become more of a fluid continuous scale which it always should have been. ANACS by far. Only one that some people can open with their bare hands. Largely because of their place in the market place. I like ICG a lot on lower value items, but CAC would be diminishing their own brand if they had PCGS prices and then ANACS prices for the coins they stickered as one example. The PCGS/CAC and the NGC/CAC gap is already enough and the type of things that CAC was initially started for are thing that most collectors can only dream of being able to afford which overwhelmingly go to PCGS and NGC.[/QUOTE]
