Why doesn’t PCGS slab all WEXLERS varieties, variety vistas, and NGC varieties. So confusing

How can NGC list several ddos for the 1964-d Kennedy and PCGS only has a couple? Then there are even more on variety vista and wexlers ddos. This is what gives me a headache when searching my coins. What is the reasoning for all of this.

    It's just the major stuff listed in the Cherrypicker's Guide.

    You got me. Anyway, count your blessings, there was a time decades ago when neither of the top two services slabbed many at all! I think in the future, based on changes in the past (details grading), they will come around to some of the other practices of the second tier services - including slabbing counterfeits. After all, you cannot claim to be #1 if you cannot back it up by your performance. Actually, I guess you can.

    I wish they did... 2/3 of the varieties I find I have to send them to ANACS.

    Thank you guys. It really doesn’t make any sense. It just keeps companies like ANACS in business

    It all boils down to business models.... Those running the business decide on their criteria - this is determined by perception of the market, customer feedback and product submitted. Business models evolve as the market changes.... much like the weather, wait a bit.... Cheers, RickO
