[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 8518542, member: 112"]For as long as the 2 TPGs - NGC, PCGS - have existed that same basic question has been asked and debated so many times that not only is the horse dead and still being beaten, the guy beating the dead horse is also dead and there's a line waiting their turn to beat on him ! And ya know what ? There has never been nor will there ever be a consensus as to which of the two is better ! And, over the 20 years this forum has existed the resulting answer among CT forum members ends up being pretty evenly split, or as others put it - 50/50. My personal observations over the entire time they have existed are that NGC is tougher/more strict on some series, and PCGS is tougher/more strict on other series. And when crossovers are attempted each will upgrade, downgrade, or cross coins slabbed by the other. Again, with no definitive consensus regarding the outcome. So if one really wants an answer to the question - flip a coin. For that's as good a method of getting an answer as there is.[/QUOTE]
