<p>[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1987714, member: 36248"]I understand your point about a quality coin is a quality coin, regardless of plastic, but here are the reasons why I think CAC does not deal in second tier grading companies:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) Why bother, PCGS and NGC are clearly the only widely market acceptable graders, and there are millions of coins between them.
