Anacs already has the population report, and doesn't have the appearance of being beholden to (in bed with?) the telemarketers. Sorry to burst your bubble, but have you ever watched "The Coin Vault" on Shop@Home or "Coin Collector" on HSN? It is not just ICG, PCGS and NGC slabbed modern coins are also sold by them as well. Unfortunately, ANACS has to be added to the list as they had 2008 Eagles on HSN during New Years day. You can't discriminate against ICG on the basis of grading modern coins for shopping networks since they are all "beholden" to them as you put it. Big customers pay the bills and the shopping networks more than likely spend seven or eight figures in grading fees. Report this Post to the Staff
Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 01/03/2008 5:06 pm Just to reiterate some of the above info, HSN and Coin Vault sold PCGS and NGC slabbed coins exclusively for years. ANAC's and ICG stayed away. Robert Chambers(of Coin Vault Fame/infamy vowed that the only slabbed coins he would ever buy or sell were PCGS and NGC. My how things change! For many years they allowed you to chose, for the same price between PCGS and NGC. After PCGS pricing on resale started to distance itself from NGC they offered both, but you paid a premium for PCGS. Remember, it's all about money and TPGS, love em' or hate em' are just another business. Many of us play in the TPG's world while others of us chose to ignore them. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
Reti New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 12:22 pm I notice that Anacs "order status" - which was supposed to be back on line on January 4 - still isn't. Can't be too surprised if the transition is a little trickier than expected, I guess. Anyone have any new info (or gossip) about how the transition is proceeding? Or the turmoil between Anacs and ICG? Report this Post to the Staff
