<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 71984, member: 2761&quot;]Speedy&#039;s evidence for prices realized is his <u>one</u> Proof Franklin in a NGC holder that he paid more than the same graded coin in a PCGS holder.&nbsp; That&#039;s one Speedy.&nbsp; What else to do you have?</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices realized are a pretty good indicator of the marketplace.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; REAL money is exchanging hands and when &quot;dollars &amp; sense&quot; are applied, the market is speaking!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All and all, PCGS slabbed coins realize higher prices than the others.&nbsp; You may find exceptions here and there, but again...when you look at auction after auction, the evidence is pretty clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>So your contention that NGC slabs more 70 coins than PCGS is because of resubmissions?&nbsp; That is almost as lame as the bloody glove was planted at O.J.
