Poll: Third party grading endorsements, influential to you?

nwcs

Given today's events, I thought I would make it a poll. Does an endorsement or certification of a third party grading company's product have any influence on your purchase decisions?

I couldn't care less if the PNG choose ACG.

Does anyone really listen to the PNG and what they consider the "official" service?

Or, really, even the ANA?

I was going to say ditto, but the boy screwed it up.

I "couldn't" care less about endorsements.

So......., PCGS wasted $400,000 over the past 5 years?

Well, I think so. But then again, it is conceivable that being endorsed encouraged PNG members to submit to PCGS more than the others and the trickle down effect causing increased business. Still, they'd have to have some good marketing info handy to justify the expenses.

The endorsements are of absolutely no importance to me.

Endorsements matter about as much to me as the color of the socks the graders are wearing when they grade my coins!

It's not significant to me. Like others, I was not even aware (nor do I personally care) that PCGS was PNG's endorsed grading service.
