I totally agree. All these extra approvals are nothing more than another means of dipping into the collector's wallet.
I am fully aware that my opinion will cause a heated discussion, but I stand firm.
There was a time when we all graded our own coins. Then, all of a sudden, it was almost mandatory to have the coin graded by a TPG. Fair enough. But then you add all the other nods of approval and it gets ridiculous. Just like the + designation. MS-64+, etc. That's just plain stupid. If it's a nice MS-64, it's still an MS-64. How about we start using the decimal system a la Compugrade? MS-65.3?
As long as buyers are willing to pay more for coins with stickers, it will continue to grow. Plus, with the flooding of counterfeits(some very well made) the collectors must be able to both grade and verify their collections, and few are. I have seen many counterfeits that without assistance would have been sold as real.

While everyone is entitled to spoof all they want, CAC has added a tremendous value to the hobby not seen since the introduction of TPGs in the first place.
