Do the PCGS graders ever read these posts?

DHeath

And laugh their arses off at the grades we anticipate. Do the laugh among themselves at the whining and moaning about undergrades and resubmissions? Do they pick on certain people? Do they read the NGC boards? Do any of the corporate officers read the posts? I know Carol and Charlie probably do, but do the execs?

We all know the execs. are just sitting in their big leather chairs, chatting on the computer, getting massages from some of the hottest women in the country, etc... Face it, they don't have time for reading these boards.

To be safe, my 2 cents... I LOVE PCGS and everything about it... the graders are fabulous and nothing they ever do is questionable... the turnarounds are overly fast and the fingerprints left on coins are just gorgeous!

At least one grader reads and participates. Judging from what I've heard about him he shouldn't be laughing.

I HOPE NOT!!!!!!!!!!................ all he will get is a headache from too much narishkite

the execs. do not read the forum posts they only read all the private messages...pm or whatever you call them

Yes, I know that a couple of the graders do read some of these posts but I have no idea how often they do. I think the big question is do they have access to our PM's. mike

It would be unwise to believe they do NOT have access to the PMs or anything else posted via this forum.

My personal Opinion is they have access,but doubt if they care to read it.Our collective opinions of their abilities mean nothing or less than nothing to them.I still believe they don't even bother to look at the coins we submit.

if these posts influence them to change in some way they would not be true quality assurance people. after 12 years of nuclear quality assurance in a steel mill, i can truly say nobody is ever happy with strict quality control. but if you change to please them you become totally compromised and in this case pcgs would become no better than pci is now.

I've concluded that the answer is yes, and that their current target is me. Yesterday, I got a good submission result, today a bad one. So, it appears that today was my turn in the barrel.

russ how bad was it?

Russ

presleyh,

I can't tell exactly how bad from the online results because the dipsticks combine four of the five coins on the same line, even though I had them listed seperately. This makes my notes useless. So, I'm either right on with a couple and way off on two, or slightly off on all four. The fifth graded a point higher then my notes indicate.

Presleyh - That sounds like a line from the old Carson Show. But your concern is valid. While we all may tend to vary on our general estimates, when a coin varies significantly and we do not understand the reasons why, then we have a right to be upset and annoyed. Russ is awfully good in pegging the grades of his coins and when he gets a big suprise to the downside, we should all be concerned. Bear

pcgs does not have a consistent method of posting results. one of my submissions was assigned serial numbers the second day they had them but the other submissions had sn only when grades are posted. others showed shipping back the same day they were received. that was an error. it is like a dozen different people are posting on line with no set procedure for doing so. i was suprised by the jumble of confusion.

Based on the lack of responsiveness to complaints on this forum, I doubt they even know it exists.

GSAGUY - That is really unfortunate, because if the" Powers That Be" actually read the threads, the company might start to show a profit and the stock price might even increase. Bear

the signal to noise ratio is so high here, I don't even read half the posts, including threads I reply to. But just in case they do happen past this one: six months ago I sent an email through web site... person responding said they'd send me an "info packet." Im still waiting on that one. Two weeks ago I asked for it again, still waiting, again. So I finally signed up last week, figuring maybe $99 could get me the information more quickly; it didn't. Still waiting and waiting and waiting.

At least I know what to expect when I send in my coins for grading. Ye ole "hurry up and wait."
