As much as I would like to congratulate them on this, I believe it more likely they were simply the highest bidder for the "honor".

[Doogy]

yup, it is a bid thing. last time around, PCGS bid something like $540k and IIRC, NGC bid $30-40 k higher than that.

Bribes aside, of all the firms out there, NGC is the one I definitely prefer as the official grading service of the ANA.

Most definitely ,,NGC is ten times collector friendlier than pcgs...

The article explained that the ANA orginally set out to solicit bids from multiple TPGs with the possibility of contracting with more than one. For whatever reasons there were delays in the process, ANA had set certain standards, requirements, etc. and when it came down to it they extended NGC's contract and now have a "letter of intent" to sign them back up. No explanation really as to what happened with the submittals or lack thereof of the other TPGs. (This is from my memory of reading the article, so please don't quote me on it.
