wow that is exactly what has been discussed on this forum as what would be one way to deter counterfeiting. Since NGC is doing it PCGS will soon follow suit I believe which will at least be a step forward from where we are now

From the article:
Quote:
Free access for certification verifications will be available to Authorized Dealers. Collectors can gain entry through Collectors Society membership.


Gee.. the free membership, or the not-so-free membership?

Xshift--Yes, as long as everyone has equal access to the photo archive, that's the only way it would work.
I think requiring people to become Collector's Society members would hamper this feature--but I'll be optimistic they'll work the bugs out.

Exactly.. here's hoping they'll end up seeing it that way.

well I remember when NGC's cert verification was for paid collector society members only also so at least they are working in the right direction

On the NGC forum the NGC rep said that they had changed it and the certification verification would be a free service now so I would expect it to be available to the non-paying Collectors society members
