<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hiho, post: 787698, member: 21869&quot;]I collected United States paper money back in the 1970&#039;s, 1980&#039;s and early 1990&#039;s before anyone certified banknotes. Red seal star notes, Nationals, Obsolete, low and fancy serial numbers, you name it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I submitted a few Nationals to CGA when they started up in 1998 and felt they did a pretty good job, but that&#039;s all the experience that I have had with &quot;slabbing&quot; paper money. 99% of my collection was &quot;raw&quot; in Mylar holders and that was fine with me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have been more into coins for the past 10-12 years but have decided to get slowly back into banknotes. I can&#039;t resist...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>CGA appears to have become the ANACS of paper money certification, stuck in third place behind PCGS and PMG.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would appreciate it if people here could share their opinions of the three paper money grading services so I can get caught up. I realize that many of you HATE certified banknotes and that&#039;s fine too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please vote and share your opinions so I can get back up to speed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks!
