Should the major auction houses provide large pictures of the designations the major certification companies are certifying?

    I think the auction companies are actually losing money from fees due to the lack of decent pictures. I can't get to the major (or even weekly) auctions in person. I'd bid more if I knew a Jefferson FS/RPM/DDO/DDR was accurate.

    Tell me about it! And 16 out of 17 voters 94% agree with you!
    Two things; either these major auction houses don't care for our money/business because they're already making tons of money the way they already conduct their businesses or their hands are tied due to some external influences/forces.
    Personally, I don't believe PCGS nor NGC would have a problem with detailed pics of steps sold through auction houses like Heritage, Superior Galleries and so on.
