<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1342901, member: 35203"]I have always avoided "second" and "third" tier services but I only pay what I feel the coin is worth raw give or take a dollar or two. My take is ICG and even Anacs are getting a bum rap because they have had to resort to hsn and littleton type places for dealer distribution. People overpay when they buy from these places and aren't happy when they sell their coins for less than they paid so they feel cheated by the companies and get it in their heads that the grade was wrong and that's what made the coin worth less money. Also going back to my preferences it just seems like ANACS and ICG just have a simplistic look that could be counterfeited. Granted there are fake slabs of every company out there but designs haven't changed that much. I think for that reason lot's of people trust PCGS and NGC more they are a bit more proactive. Finally, Ebay doesn't help because they feel that anyone other than PCGS,NGC or ANACS are sold as raw. So that tells novices too oh there's something wrong with that slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
