Even the worst team in baseball has one All-Star. <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">(?) More misinformation! Who are the &quot;All-Stars&quot; at NCCG, ANGS, CCNC, and the rest of the Fly-by-night services?&quot; </span>Broken clock, etc. Pick your own favorite old saw. The work speaks for itself, and what I&#039;m saying is <b>I think I&#039;m better by far than any slab outside of PCGS and NGC.</b> AND STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH I NEVER SAID!!!!!! <b>Never mentioned any gradER,</b> <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">Oh, but you did.
