It's good to see the playing field is finally evening out.

I just returned from the Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Coin show today. It's on for two days this weekend. I saw something that I was happy to see and proud to comment on. You see, for years, at the coin shows in both Edmonton and Calgery, I would only see the odd NGC graded coin. Word from the dealers was that NGC graded two points higher than PCGS and our top grading co. ICCS. That always bothered me. Every year I would express my findings about NGC grading more conservativly than the others. Believe me, I know, I've tried to cross many a coins, only to be disapointed. I even had a pleasant conversation with one dealer who was asking me questions about how NGC grades, rather than just being ignorant and saying the same old thing. Now here we are 2009, and I am proud to say that about 1/8 to 1/4 of the graded coins displayed were NGC. Then of course there was PCGS, ICG, ICCS, CCCS, and some ANACS. Really though, I believe NGC has finally broken through In Canada. Maybe at some point, in some not to distant year, NGC will send a grading team to Calgary for a show. Anyway, Good show NGC!!
