[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 2012268, member: 29751"]PCGS customer service has been horrible for years. That's my main complaint with them. NGC customer service has been wonderful during the same time.

My main complaints with them would be their bias towards settlements in favor of the buyer. It needs to be more balanced between buyer and seller rights.
