My reply to Bully

Bully makes some good points... Since I started purchasing graded coins, I have always preferred NGC over PCGS. The reason is that I just like the holders better... to me they are more aesthetically pleasing.

I also see that PCGS coins seem to cost more, but the reason this is so escapes me. Could it be that PCGS puts a higher FMV on their coins? Another reason I ignore FMV listings and Price Guides is that they are inconsistent and IMHO arbitrary.

Also lets see if this journal will allow for forum dialog.

Whatever the motivation behind it, collectors are hedging their bets and, I think, trying to avoid the emotional nonsense that came with the World Set debacle. Who wants to have to worry about all that?

I wonder if there are any NGC and PCGS fanboys like Mac and PC users... I feel a parody commercial coming on!
