Message:: [QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2278507, member: 17665"]There is not a single company anywhere in the world that does not make mistakes. All four TPG's have experts on board but that does mean they are perfect. And there will always be a following for all of them. Somewhere along the line ICG fell behind the rest of the pack, why is anyone's guess, maybe just a bad choice in not keeping current with modern trends. In order to compete profitably they all must maintain standards or go out of business. This also goes for the only two recognized comic graders, CGX & PGX. I seriously doubt it is some sort of conspiracy. Crossovers can be simply anyone's desire to get a better grade and it does not always work in their favor. I find ANAC's to be superb with errors and varieties and I've never had a problem. I do not use PCGS as I do not want to be involved in memberships or trusting my coins with a dealer who I don't do business with, that's my choice though. I'll admit that NGC & PCGS end up easier to sell come the time but that's just the way the boat rocks right now. Everything is subject to change and so this might if these business models are not kept tight.[/QUOTE]
