    Should the ANA help with these third-world slabbers? If so, should the people running for the board tell us what they would do?

    From what I have read Feebay has already teamed up with the ANA.

    Why doesn't the ANA, and the other reputable TPG's do something?

    Have members made the ANA aware that this is an issue they care about? I asked this question about the ANA and ACG ATS and the response I got was that the ANA wanted to save $3000 and was more interested in working on their library. Is that true?


  • << <i>So now it's official, this guy dew1111 sells SGS, and shills Abombs auctions.

    I have seen this guy bidding on quite a few of Abombs auctions.

    So it's not horrible enough that your buying crap, unaware buyers are being shilled.

    Suck this Abomb, and you too dew1111


    shilled SGS >>

    Absolutely Also, if they are still around under the same names, so does cwjohnson316, capc123, and Mentone_mercantile

    as noted, some of these guys may have changed names by now.
    This has been documented by me and reported to ebay more than a year ago.

    Exactly, thats why SGS needs to be eliminated. >>



    Along with about 10+ other "grading companies".

    People who buy these coins expecting the grades to be correct are, to put it bluntly, simply idiots. Idiots make these people a nice living.

  • Perhaps a comparison might help:

    S-G-S is to grading as B-O-S-E is to audio.

    Both have a lot of people fooled. Both command a premium. To those in the know, neigher deliver the goods.

    Both will be around for a long time to come...
