PCGS's interest in Collector submissions

DHeath

Realizing that collectors may be a pretty time consuming group to deal with, and also being aware the PCGS is receiving bunches of submissions right now, do you believe PCGS will remain interested in collector submissions, or do you believe with the limited pool of grading talent you would choose to employ and with the increase in dealer submissions as third-party grading becomes more necessary to sell expensive coins will squeeze the collector out of the submission process?

We're here to serve all coin submitters, including both collectors and dealers. If submissions exceed our capacity on a consistent basis, we will add graders. While the truly qualified grader pool is limited, being a PCGS grader is considered a plum job in the rare coin industry, as our graders are paid extremely well and don't have to travel as much as most dealers. Serving collectors is definitely to our business advantage, hence our non-revenue producing collector services such as the Set Registry, our web-site, and this message board. We're here to serve you...David
