Message:: [QUOTE="airedale, post: 139454, member: 4695"]Thank you for the history lesson, this sheds some light on this. It is not going to take 3 years. After buying 200 or so " Slabbed " coins in the last 6 months the fraud is becoming transparent. My stomach really churned paying those PCGS and to the same extent NGC prices to obtain coins comparable to the " 2nd Tier " and guess what. In six months or less I will be able to give a full report. Certainty none of the 5,828 members of this forum could be responsible for bashing the  " 2nd Tier " grading companies but someone has driven their prices down dramatically. This makes them a really good buy on the Internet. Maybe those Bashers are buying them, " cracking them out " and sending them to their " favorite service " for a profit. Time will tell. Funny but the PNG Survey got me interested in all of this! I have been a business man all of my adult life as my parents and theirs before them were 103 years in the same market place, and of course the we think we are the best in the field, but I could not rate any competitors POOR. The market would have taken care of them and they would be OUT. I think some grading services just have better PR than others. Again, time will tell. I will publish my report in the thread Distinguishing Grading Services.[/QUOTE]
