<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 965522, member: 66"]The worst horror story I can think of (didn't happen to me as I don't submit) actually came about because the TPS's recommendations were NOT followed, and it actually had to do with coins submitted to PCGS directly at a show. It happened at a Long Beach show. At the end of the show PCGS took all of the coins that had been submitted to them and for security rather than carrying them back to the offices they mailed them back. But they ignored their own instructions to collectors to ship by registered mail and shipped the coins to the office by express mail. The coins never arrived. Think about that. ALL of the coins submitted at a major show (other than walkthroughs) being lost in the mail at the same time. I can't help but wonder how much that cost PCGS to reimburse everyone for their coins. (Actually PCGS probably had the shipment privately insured. Postal insurance would not have covered it.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
