<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1985905, member: 37839"]Agreed--however, both PCGS and NGC have maintained a good reputation because they're generally consistent, and accurate, despite the myriad of complaints that come from individual collectors ("My coin is under graded."). Every collector thinks that their coin will grade higher, so said complaints are of minimal value. Also, die hards think that TPGs have variable standards, and that they can grade better than the TPG--nothing new about that. However, the companies that have lost reputation (ICG, for example) was never very good to begin with--as a longtime collector, I have always found them marginal--Not ACG, but not anywhere near adequate. As regards ANACS, their ace-in-the-hole was always attribution of varieties, and they still do that well. They were never in the league with the big two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
