[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2434202, member: 1892"]The following is merely a personal observation, and don't forget the plural of "anecdote" is not "data." [B]Both[/B] major TPG's have tightened their standards over the last few years, probably in response to the success of CAC. It seems to me that overall, PCGS grades more strictly than NGC, although the only area I'd consider NGC "deficient" is in their grading of MS/PR70's which concerns me not at all. That said, PCGS is also issuing what I consider to be [B]egregious[/B] errors in grading - both over and under - at a rate greatly exceeding that of NGC who appear far more consistent these days. Frankly, I'm at a point of advising going with NGC as long as the liquidation timeframe is over 5 years; at the rate they're going I don't see the "PCGS Premium" surviving much into the future.[/QUOTE]
