BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 10:08 pm ACCUgrade was a legit service for a time. They were known for over-grading but were not a "basement operation". ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 10:10 pm Never heard of them. But I am sure that in time their reputation will be discussed here ...sooner or later. Now I'm going to look for their web site. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 10:30 pm Found 'em. They think quite highly of themselves but nobody else does. I don't know that it matters because the best advice was the first advice you got from cd god. Report this Post to the Staff

Accugrade is a very OLD company and they invented slabbing in the US. (There was one overseas company that used a slab before Accugrade.) The only company older than ACG that is still around is ANACS. Back in those early days things were much cruder especially computers and printers. Early PCGS and NGC slab labels are also quite crude by today's standards. Report this Post to the Staff
