[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7442038, member: 10461"]As [USER=29751]@brg5658[/USER] mentioned, the slab images on the NGC cert pages are there for verification more than glamor. I do think that is useful. While I like the PCGS TrueViews (mostly), I do sometimes wish they included a full-slab picture [I]and[/I] the TrueView. PCGS Europe (and maybe their branch in China, too?) uses full-slab images on their cert pages, like below. I don't think these are as good as the US-style TrueViews, but then again, they show the slab, which is important.
