Turns out I DO have an example of the Long Beach office slab and after comparing the four types I would say the Accugrade West and Accugrade  California slabs probably came from the Long Beach office after the San Francisco office closed. Believe it or not they keep making a comeback and several TPG's have tried them over the years.  Also what would you call the CAC stickers?  Aren't they in effect a half grade sticker?  especially the gold ones?  And from sneak hints released by accident on the PCGS forum the "Big One" announcement from PCGS today may actually be a + grade added to the number which would also in effect be a half grade.[/QUOTE]
