Anyone done business with them? Are they affiliated with PCGS?

    I seriously doubt any connection with PCGS!

    And no, I have never done business with them. I have done business with "American Numismatic Rarities" though but not the one on Ebay!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Think they might had a problem with that name?

    Yes, they should have had a problem with that name. PCGS should be on their case to change their name and justifiably so. PCGS has spent a lot of time and money to create and maintain their brand name and shouldn't let somebody create a business with a name that looks like it's part of PCGS!

    PCGS better never think about selling the coins they slab. Huge conflict of interest and would be no better than Star Grading Service. image

    While I am sure PCGS appreciates anyone making a market for their slabs, trade name infringement should bother them. If they haven't sniffed them out yet, they probably will and issue and expected cease and desist. Shouldn't be much to change the store name and do a new simple logo. Like another poster replied, this was a long hard climb to establish first class brand credibility.

    I hope that PCGS decides to protect their brand. It takes either huge cojones or massive stupidity to so blatantly steal a trade name.
