Message:: [QUOTE="spy88, post: 9403, member: 968"]As a member of the CU forums, I read all the threads and posts regarding the Norweb/PCGS " problem" as they were occurring.  There was much debate both pro and con regarding PCGS response (or lack of) addressing the issue.  The full story will never be known to the general public, as I believe both parties reached a settlement that included no disclosure by either side.  The original thread faded away. The latest fiasco on the CU boards was the fact that PCGS lost the endorsement to a higher bid by NGC.  Mr. Hall was so upset by it that he threaded a statement that, in essence, accused NGC/ANA of collaborating and conspiring behind his back, posted the final bid amounts, and said something to the effect..."I guess anyone can buy respect."  He was so taken to task by the thread that he edited out portions of it.  AND also edited out portions of the three responses an ANA spokeperson posted.  What with the articles and full page ads he took out in CoinWorld basically voicing the same sentiments shortly after these posts, it was considered by many that DH couldn't let it drop and further lost much personal respect by CU members/dealers. Up til DH made his statement regarding losing the endorsement, very few knew that PCGS had also been the high bidder for the ANA endorsement 5 years hence when he "bought respect".[/QUOTE]
