So far my opinion is-
PCGS- easy to crack
NCG- easy to crack
ANACS- pain in the butt to crack
AGC- east to throw in the trash can!!!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    SEGS slabs are made of kryptonite!

    I've only cracked one, and it took a major effort!
