Re: Accugrade Scam?

Re: 100 Greatest websites are being deleted (so sorry)
My take... PCGS created, defined and executed the "TruView" system of digital imaging. As the creator, they are the sole definer and enforcer of usage. As the user (and just like purchasing software), when you buy a TruView image, you enjoy personal usage and other rights as granted by PCGS. They alone have all rights to… -
