What Does The New CAC Grading Service Mean For Other TPG Values

I think it has as much to do with the free marketing they will get from RCTV. It is on every weekend from 12-6 (and I believe may late night time slots). Prices are high, but they do a nice job with the history of the coins. My problem is the value they put of "first" slabs or the special Rick Tomaska inserts. Maybe some value those but not me - but I bet many grandparents "put a few away for the grandkids."

Those posting here on the new CACG third-party grading service might find the PowerPoint presentations "CAC and Its 'Green Beans'" posted on the Newman Numismatic Portal (4/9/22) or the American Numismatic Association E-Learning Academy (7/21) to be helpful background information.

I have presented this CAC PowerPoint at four A. N. A. World's Fair of Money National Conventions and to many Denver area coin clubs, etc., updated each time with information graciously provided me by both John Albanese and "Mickey" Kumpf, John's Office Manager/"Right-Hand Person."

I have neither sought nor received any financial return nor "preferential submission treatment" for doing this presentation. I am a retired teacher/coach/school principal who will always love teaching, especially about numismatics. I am also A. N. A. Life Member #4138; and CAC Collectors' Club Member #132.

Once CACG is "up and running," with its requirements and operating procedures established, I hope to put together a similar PowerPoint presentation on it. I believe that CACG will operate under similar consistent coin-evaluating standards as CAC has for nearly sixteen years, with both organizations proving helpful and beneficial to coin collectors, coin investors, and our beloved field of numismatics.
