[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2255759, member: 15929"]It's neither here nor there since I'm certain that Miles signed a non-disclosure agreement with PCGS prior to getting on board with NGC. As for owning CLCT Stock? Not for me since it really has no upside. No preferential treatment or else their ethical code of conduct goes right out the window not to mention the fact that companies with public offerings are beholding to their stock holders. Not their customers. As such, to keep the stock viable, public companies have to do things such as trim overhead (which PCGS has done to the point of almost being like eBay with regard to sellers) or cut heads and salaries. Do people REALLY want some young grader that has no real world experience grading their coins just to keep the stock prices solvent? The entire grading experience and even the grading scale itself is based upon "market values" and experience. If not, then how could a coin with obvious MS64 hits grade at MS65 or even higher due to some toning? I would be curious as to why Miles parted ways but I suppose we'll ever know why? Maybe he didn't like the new forum Format of FuseTalk 4.0??[/QUOTE]
