Well, I guess the wait was worth it! Not excited about the length, but what else can you do. PCGS grades just seem to sell for much more than their NGC counterparts.

segoia,
Grades are pretty good. I just couldn't stand to wait the 3 months to get them back. Do you ever wonder if you had sent them under the regular service you may have gotten better grades? That is what I always tell myself, but some times wonder if it really matters

Sometimes I can't help but think who sends it in is just as important.

Grades are OK but 3 months!! I do not believe it matters what service you send then in on. Also, according to HRH in the Q&A Forum, the graders do not know the service level nor WHO sent them in. I have to believe in the integrity of PCGS. This may be naive, but I have consistently gotten fair grades regardless of how I submit. I may not like some of the grades but I must admit they were fair, IMO.

Your probly right Mike. Just some high volume submitters seem to sell ultra high end moderns. Perhaps thats it. The highvolume gets them the grade by percentages.

Service level really doesn't matter. Early date PF68Cam's don't come by everyday, so I think I did ok.

I've seen some junk, but I think we've all had a break or two. Bottomline, if you feel it's undergraded, try again or try at NGC. Sonner or later you'll be proven right or wrong!
