<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 68045, member: 2761&quot;]If grey sheets are a just weekly piece of paper, then what would you call the PNG survey of 2002 and 2004?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have truly looked at the numbers, how can you ignore this (from their webs site):</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;PNG and ICTA distributed 521 surveys to its full-time professional members on July 8, 2004, but did not send duplicate surveys to people who belong to both organizations. Respondents sent their completed surveys to the certified public accounting firm, BiggsKofford, of Colorado Springs, Colorado. A total of 172 qualified and verified surveys were tabulated by the CPA firm. The 2002 survey had 151 verified responses.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So 172 people responded to the 2004 survey (keep in mind that NGC has a vested interest in the PNG) and people look at these numbers as gospel!?!</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry...I look at <b>REAL</b> prices from <u>thousands</u> of <b>REAL</b> transactions.&nbsp; If I can buy, I try pick up ANACS or ICG coins at &quot;dimes to dollars&quot; pricing compared to NGC and PCGS.&nbsp; When I submit raw, I will spend the extra $5 or $10 dollars and submit to PCGS.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; If I have to sell or liquidate, I will go with the service that is realizing the highest prices for my coins...far and above the cost of submission and all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until the day when I see prices realize catch up and pass the likes of PCGS and NGC by other services, I still plan to buy low and sell high and apply the profits (I know that is dirty word to some) to other coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
