<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3654187, member: 78244&quot;]I have thought about this before, but with the closed-mindedness of US collectors, if the holder does not say PCGS , NGC, or ANACS (and lesser so, ICG), then the grade opinion holds no more leverage than their toilet paper. It does not matter whose opinion is behind the slab: mine, yours, John Albanese’s, Q. David Bowers’, Larry Briggs’, Bill Fivaz’, etc. It will still be seen as garbage and will be laughed off the stage. Larry Briggs tried to get a table at one of the past ANA shows for SEGS, but he was subjected to the political maneuvering of PCGS and NGC to get him shut out by the ANA.</p><p><br /></p><p>JA recognized this, so his company <i>supplemented</i> PCGS and NGC rather than replace them. No way we look at it, the US coin market is subject to the whims of PCGS’ and NGC’s influence. That’s how it will always be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
