<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1224310, member: 24633&quot;]I&#039;ve been trying to keep my 2c out of this discussion. There are some people who like PCGS, some who like NGC, some who hate one or the other or even all grading services. These companies would not have been created if there wasn&#039;t a consumer demand for them, and I don&#039;t believe they control the market. As Doug said earlier, it is the consumer who determines their direction, to a point.</p><p><br /></p><p>With all that, I can&#039;t help but wonder what the hobby would be like today if there were no grading services and the &quot;pre-Sheldon Scale&quot; of grading were still used today in our internet-based collecting habits. Given the way crooked sellers on eBay are trying to foist problem and counterfeit coins onto uneducated buyers, maybe it would be better if we go back even further in time.......to the days of the lynch mobs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
