<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1953553, member: 66&quot;]By now it should be clearly obvious that no new grading service really has a chance.&nbsp; Why, because they aren&#039;t PCGS or NGC.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t matter how good they are, or how consistent they are, 90% of the marketplace has the knee jerk reaction PCGS and NGC good, everyone else BAD.&nbsp; Any slabbed coin from any service will always start out being viewed with a negative bias because &quot;if there wasn&#039;t something wrong with it it would be in a PCGS or NGC slab.&nbsp; Since it isn&#039;t it must be overgraded or a problem coin&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp; And even if they do look at the coin, and grudgingly agree it is properly graded, that still isn&#039;t good enough because then it will looked down upon because &quot;it will be too hard to sell or I&#039;ll get less for it because it isn&#039;t in a PCGS or NGC slab&quot;.&nbsp; So they are condemned if they aren&#039;t up to the top two&#039;s standards, and the are condemned even if they ARE up to their standards.&nbsp; And if they try to combat this by going ultra-strict and undergrading the coins slightly they either get no submissions or all their good coins get cracked and upgraded at PCGS and NGC.&nbsp; It&#039;s a lose-lose-lose proposition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
