I could not agree more. Add to this the fact that NGC now assigns more registry points to the meaningless EARLY and FIRST RELEASES designations and you have what is clearly just a colossal money extraction scheme. The concept that a 69/70 graded coin with the words "EARLY RELEASES" on its label is worth more registry points than an identical piece without them is insulting and, as another commenter so correctly observed, "demeaning to the hobby." Following this logic, why don't Major League Baseball and the National Football League award more points for runs or touchdowns achieved within, say, the first 30 minutes of the game? After all, those scoring events occurred first, when the players were fresh...
