ACG and NTC ads still in latest Numismatist.

I got my most recent copy of the Numismatist today. The ACG and NTC ads are still there.
Haggar claims that he has not had a major complaint in 18 years and that he invented the slab in
1984. Is this true and what does he classify as a major complaint? I guess the ANA needs the money.

From what I understand, he did indeed invent the slabbing technology.

Yes, PCGS paid him to use the slabbing technology.

NTC promised to never donate a single dime to the ANA, so there shouldn't be a problem

hager wrote a huge book on grading, etc. it is the driest, most boring "book" on coins you ever saw. but yet, it is 100% true that hager invented the coin slab. of course, he also invented the beenie-baby slab.
