    Cameron, ditto to all of the kudos on this thread. I'm sure you're really excited about this, as you should be. The only "words of wisdom" I can share are these: at the shows, don't hit on the ICG booth babes. Everyone else, however, is "fair game."

    Thanks again everyone for the kind words.

    For my sample slab friends: please don't worry about the future of sample slabs. I can still collect them, just not sell them. ICG is even going to give me one of each new type as they come out so we will know EVERY type of ICG sample slab as they are produced. My website will continue to be updated so keep e-mail me new types as you find them!

    Congratulations on your new position. I grew up in South Denver and spent time in Englewood (where ICG is) growing up. Assuming that your work schedule is not so demanding that you spend all 168 hours per week doing nothing other than sleeping and grading coins, you should enjoy the Denver metro area, the front range of the Rockies and the Rockies themselves in your free time. Best of luck. SanctionII.

    Nice job Dude...please tell them to lay off the MS70 and PR70 awards......and give them an idea of all of our opinions on this board. Maybe you can save the world, err at least this company. They have nice slabs and good bidness practices but handing out 70's like candy on Halloween is not cool. Best of luck and when they start grading to PCGS standards maybe you can post again??? Maybe by then the twins will have .....well anyway thats offtopic. image

    That's great news, Cam. have a good time! Not many people get to work at what they truly love to do.

    Congratulations Cameron! Now, try to get ICG to tighten up their grading of MSRD Lincoln Wheats. I've bought many, many of these on ebay in 66/67 holders with the thought of cracking them and sending them to PCGS. Only ONE was good enough IMO, I cracked it and it came back 66RD (same grade ICG had.) ALL of the others weren't even close. The 67's would only get a 65 at PCGS and the 66's would barely go 64.

    I look forward to the "new" ICG slabs in the "Cameron Era!"
