Slabber acronyms

shirohniichan

This has probably been brought up before, but what acronyms have you heard used for certifying services?

So far I've heard the following two:

PCGS= Professional Coin Guessing Service (not too creative, in my opinion)

ICG= I Can't Grade

I guess I could add:

SEGS= Seated Enthusiasts Granting Sub-varieties

NGC= Nearly as Good Cetrification

PCI= Pretty Cheap Imitation

ACG= Alan Can't Grade

Can you think of better ones?

People, lets have a contest to see who can come up with the best accronyms. Perhaps someone could post a poll. If we cant get a poll, maybe a small twig would do. I dont know what we could give for a gift but how does a star before your name sound?

A few of many. A buddy of mine and I used to sit around and think these up.

ACG-Astigmatism, Glaucoma, and Cataracts; Assured Corruption and Graft
ANACS-Amos 'n Andy Certification Service; Almost Never Accurate Certification Service
PCGS-Preferred Customer Grading Service
PCI-Professionally Certified Ineptitude
NGC-Nincompoops Grading Coins; Novices Grading Coins
NTC-New-mistrust

Nationalized

this is no acronym, but NTC has mistrust as part of its title.

How about this

PCGS = Perpetually Changing Grading Standards
