Many board members have been sending me pm's asking if James was going to come back to ICG after he left ANACS. I just found out today and am happy to announce that he will be ICG's CEO as of January 1, 2007. It will be great having James back and I wanted everyone on the board to know first.

Fool me twice, shame on me...
How To Move from #4 grading service to #3
Step 1: Send mole to #3 company.
Step 2: Have him make as many farked up decisions in one year as possible.
Step 3: Hire mole back, and have him bring back lots of inside info.
Step 4: Profit!
This is way farked up from top to bottom.

Heh
Hey, you're almost at "Choose Your Title"! C'mon, crank out those last few posts.
<< <i>you have not heard the last from ANACS. >>
This smells like yesterday's diapers.
Here's what I expect to hear from ANACS (pick one):
1) We're shutting down. We gave it our best shot, but it's over.
2) We've agreed to be purchased by ICG for an undisclosed sum.
3) We're suing ICG and JT.

I only post when it is something valuable to say.

4) We are taking Wondercoin's advice and hiring 4 world class graders and paying them each $1 million per year. Plus, we are buying SEGS for $2 million so we can use their bullet-proof slabs.

Do you think ICG has the funds for that and the thoughtfulness and foresight to do it?
Also, they would HAVE to have a new slab or at least a new insert in order to differentiate.
They have dug a deep well for themselves right now and are pretty much in bed with some of the TV hawkers to the degree that to change their course now would be costly.

The slabs ICG uses are the best in the industry, IMO. I have a number of ICG slabbed ancient coins, and am very happy with their grading and attribution. It is a shame they went with the telemarketers for all the modern MS/PR 70's, it just hurts their reputation.
I don't know how they can recover from that, but they have a great niche with ancients.
I am really tired of J.T. and all these games.

That's about how I feel.
Hopefully things at ICG don't change too much. I'm rather pleased at how they are now.

That happens in a lot of, if not most industries. It doesn't have any correlation to a big bust.

<< <i>That's a good break for ICG. Quality guy. >>
Honestly, how can anyone say such a thing after what has happened to ANACS? Whether or not it was directly HIS fault, it certainly falls back on him and his reputation.
It might be a good break for them if you don't like them and wish for them to go belly up.
No way. I love it at ICG.

Paul is still Vice President of Client Relations and Marketing, and has plenty of work and projects to do to keep him busy.

Goose, I doubt that you or any of us knows if James was responsible for the problems at ANACS. Therefore, it's unfair to continue to blame him, either directly or indirectly.
I've heard more than once that PCGS's submissions are down recently (though I don't know if that is a fact or not), I still see lots of customer service complaints, and then there is the "first strike" lawsuit. Why don't you blame Ron Guth for those things?, even though I'm highly doubtful that they are his fault. Is it that if he stays he's not responsible, but that if he departs, it must have been his fault? What happened to fairness and courtesy?
