Do you think their reason for existing is to help collectors or do what is good for collectors ? Keep in mind that the founder of CAC is the same man who helped found both NGC and PCGS. No, CAC is a business just like the TPGs are a business, and CAC's sole purpose is for the company to make money.[/QUOTE]
