Just thinned out my office - lot's of vouchers never used for grading - clearly supporting PCGS!
Gone but not forgotten: IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko, Big Moose, Cardinal.
Funny, I was thinking that there should be some rewards for surviving on this forum. A complimentary grading or a cool storage box.
It’s been mentioned that pcgs gets major benefits for all our knowledge being given freely as well as a running commentary on a vast number of relevant issues. Congratulations to pcgs for providing the forum but major congratulations to the members who make it happen. 👍🏼

Well, there is running commentary on a vast number of issues... I suppose it is mostly relevant. 😉

Interesting read from the original op to all the replies from 2009 and seems not much has changed. A large amount didn’t approve of charging then and some felt perhaps they contribute alot of time and knowledge .
Here we are 13 years later mostly thinking no way should we pay. If you’ve got the time give it a read from the top. Number of people are just the same then as now😄. Good to see 👍🏼
I don't submit coins for slabbing but I go out of my way to buy coins slabbed by PCGS. I consider that as me supporting PCGS even if it's indirectly.

Sorry for "resurrecting" an old thread, @Catbert. Some people criticize creating new threads when the old one has the context of their question.
I was trying to find out whether its still a reasonable deal, [ apparently NOT, from what I'm hearing. ] IMHO Maybe PCGS needs to lower their prices or try some sort of newcomer specials?
Let me ask you something. If you had a product where you couldn’t keep up with demand, would you lower prices?
I didn’t think so.
The law of economics says they should RAISE prices to lower demand. Thank goodness they aren’t doing that.

I'm letting mine expire.
I agree with myself from 13 years ago.

Criticized for starting a thread that was already posted a decade ago?
I can't agree with that,
Was this the only thread on the topic to show up on your search or just the oldest?

Geezo! What a great way to ruin this forum.
Oh Alex. This won’t ruin the forum. This is standard operating procedure. Politics and trolls can’t ruin it just little bumps in the road.
Thanks

They would not get away too easily with raising prices now.
The backlog is costing submitters, especially dealers money.
I would not be in favor of requiring membership. Let as many scholars or knowledgeable people post. It's good for the board.....and marketplace.
I started early so I’m in the doghouse already. Now I don’t need to go get anything…. Maybe a coin will ease my pain. 😂
Hoard the keys.
