Is there some kind of list of all the basement slabbers known? (And if not, could one be started in a sticky thread or something, next to the ebay accounts they use?) I know how to tell them apart from actual TPGs, I'm just interested in seeing all the names and acronyms used (I bet there's a bit of a crunch for ones like "PGCS"). |

I think it would be quicker to list the 4 or 5 legit graders and just ignore every other one you see on ebay or your local swap meet. |

I just like to see the variety of shoddy slabs.
Maybe I could even collect them. There's certainly a lot of them, and they're all different... (like the laminated 2x2 "slab")

Makes it very hard to search for them. |

I'm also okay with a lot of SEGS and some of the PCI graded coins, though I buy the coin not the plastic, even from ANACS, NGC and PCGS.
NCS is a part of NGC so might as well include them but they aren't a grading firm rather a conservation service.

ICG is Legit also That is a matter of opinion and you are entitled to yours. But this is not AU50, not with wear on the diamond and one of the orbs.

I do not know what the point of that post was other than to slam on ICG because 1)the coin is raw and not in an ICG holder and 2)you only show one side of the coin  |

This listing isn't complete but it is a good start. (should be about 15 more) It contains both the good and bad companies. the basement slabbers, the fly-by-nights etc. It runs for I think 143 companies. (The first edition of the Slab Book only listed 82 companies.) If you see a double listing that is because there is more than one company using those initials

You left out my favorite- INB. Makes SGS look conservative.
