POP Reports

If the POP reports show any one grading service is better than any other then PCGS should be the best because their POP's are lower than any other service. It has been said that ICG is not as Conservative as NGC. The current NGC POP reports show that NGC has grading 70 sets of ASE's at MS-70 and PCGS's current reports show they have not yet graded a set of ASE's at MS-70. According to the numbers it appears NGC is not as Conservative as PCGS. Does that mean we should no buy NGC graded coins?? That is why IMO the POP report's do not tell the whole story. It seems to me that if we can not trust the numbers the who can we trust?? If we throw out the numbers and go by things like POP reports alone then we are buying the holder and not the coin. And if we are going to buy the holder then why not buy the prettiest one. HA HA Here are the current CDN numbers
