CAC coins, What's the deal PCGS for adding coins to your inventory

@alaura22

Thank you for continuing to draw attention to this issue.

At this point, I just want them to delist CAC sets. Should be simple to do. I see this as an integrity issue.

Well I’ve deleted all from the several TPG registry sets. Everyone is evidently going to have to make a choice. I thought Ian at Great Collections had the perfect formula for registry sets (like his outstanding auction platform) but I was mistaken My Collect), Initially one could enter almost any plastic and they tried harder to be more inclusive but for whatever reason they’ve backed down from that position. Oh, in the spirit of transparency I demanded to be banned from NGC, but without any warnings or wrist slaps it proved very difficult but achievable. ANA, sorry just not enough traffic. I’m a CAC member but haven’t tried it out yet though most of my coins are CAC. Now I have no where to display my complete Carson City GSA set (32 different CC ones including VAMS), my 11 different 1882-CC GSA’s and well over 200 more GSA’s.
I’ll try and hang with PCGS as they’ve always been the best but I also can’t get ANY coins accepted to the registry. Three states they’re registered to another user. I waited 5 days and sent the pictures front and back. Still nothing, so I sent them in again. They were PCGS/CAC, wonder if that made a difference.

I am also frustrated with this as many of my sets are all CAC and I cannot add a number of high value coins. I wish they would just tell us the truth which I believe is that they will never be able to add the CAC coins as they do not have access to the information and it will not be forth coming with out paying for it. They just keep saying they are working on it and there might not be a fix. Just my Guess and opinion could be totally wrong.

Keep in mind that MyCollect (owned by GC) has full access to CAC data, as MyCollect has CAC Only sets. They also give more points to coins in other sets that merit CAC stickers.

GC made a business decision to pay CAC their fee for data access, and apparently PCGS made a business decision to not pay CAC that fee, to the detriment of PCGS Registry customers. While I don’t know the size of the fee, nor have access to PCGS financials, my sense is they could easily afford that fee, but has just chosen not to pay it! As a result, there’s a few extra dollars in the pockets of the private shareholders. Sad!

PCGS is public…buy some stock and those extra dollars could be yours!

Unless I missed something, PCGS is part of Collectors, and Collectors is currently a privately held company.

It's been 4.5 years since PCGS/CU was taken private.

And that random misinformation was @Along 's first post in 3.5 years. Odd that that was what was chosen to break a long silence.

Hey guys, it was pointed out on another thread that while some CAC stickered coins (I think it’s the older ones) will now automatically be added to the CAC only sets when you add the coin to your inventory, the other CAC stickered coins can manually (and quickly) be added to those sets by @PCGS_Hy just by simply shooting him an email at pcgssetregistry@collectors.com with the cert number.

Just 12 days ago I did this, and later that same day I received an email from Hy, letting me know he handled it, and within 24 hours I should see the “Add Coin” hotlink to the left of that coin slot in that CAC Only Registry set. And that process worked!
