[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 400717, member: 112"]And that is where you, and they, would make your mistake. Yes, ANACS, [U]used to be,[/U] one of the top 3 grading companies. But that was before James Taylor took over the company. And that was when there actually was a top 4 list of grading companies. But with Taylor's arrival that list quickly shrank to 3. Then, when the throw 'em in a bag and shake well events took place bewteen ICG and ANACS - the list immediately shrank to 2. ANACS and ICG are no longer even considered to be in the same league, let alone the same playing field, with NGC and PCGS. There are no longer 4 top grading companies - there are only 2. So yes, I readily admit that grading standards changed for ANACS and ICG. Be neither one of them was the same company any more. They are completely different companies with new owners, new grading poilcies, new graders - everything about them was new - except the names. And there is no way on this green earth that anyone can compare what those companies [U]used to be[/U] to what [U]they are now.[/U] So as you often try to do - you are comparing apples - with oranges.[/QUOTE]
