There simply is no earthly reason for the grader to miss the grade by this much.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>None of this explains how ANACS used to be at the same reputation level as NGC & PCGS, but no longer enjoys that parity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally thought that DLRC was going to make a run at PCGS & NGC when they bought the PCI inventory and started Dominion Grading Service (DGS), but it seems the market will only accept a grading superstar to enter the grading world and succeed.
