[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2859211, member: 20480"]I'm afraid I've got to disagree with you on this count OCD ( :D ). Speaking from experience, I've probably been disappointed almost half the time by PCGS taking my coins and / or my customers coins back to Newport Beach before returning them to me at my expense after I'd submitted for Show Grading late on a Thursday at FUN or at Baltimore. This has happened a few times now, and I've observed it happening to other submitters as well. To claim that the PCGS policies are not misleading is a stretch, when they clearly imply that submitters paying the grading fees for Show Services will have their coins back by the "End of Show". I can recall at least one occasion when PCGS left the show a full day early, and took all of the ungraded coins home with them. Not only does it disappoint my customers and I that we don't get our coins back when expected, but it takes extra money out of our pockets to boot. Worst of all, while my customers have been polite in not pointing it out to me, they've doubtless been bothered by the fact that, as a PCGS Authorized Dealer, I cannot guarantee that they'll have their coins back when they should. That reflects poorly on me. It's great that you apparently have had a better experience with show grading, but I don't think you are qualified to speak for those who have not.[/QUOTE]
