Re: CU Stock down 10% today. Respnse to ZAG/GAI merger?
Let me say this again: Collector's Universe should NOT be a public company! They perform a wonderful service for people, but if you look at it, all they primarily do is review at cards (and coins) and slab them.

I think the main thing that it would take is industry connections. For example, if Legend and Pinnacle and some of the other nationally known and highly respected dealers started certifying all of their coins in this new company's slabs and touted them as "on par" with PCGS and NGC, I think it would just be a matter of… -
