This is an intersting read about the beginnings of certain grading services and how the ANA and PNG got involved.

Re: How a third party grading service can fall
This is a court case with AGC as the Plantiff and the ANA, PCGS and others as the defendants.
AGC (1984) was in business before PCGS (1986) started and before ANACS dropped there Photo certs (1989) and started the slabs.
This is all very interesting and I did enjoy looking it over as I have heard many different things on the subject. but never had seen anything like this before.
Although I have never done any research on it either.
Thanks, Bob

Re: How a third party grading service can fall
Although, I fully agree with the top four grading services we have as the standard, I don't like how PCGS touts themselves as the first. Also not giving the credit for who came up with the smaller plastic slab or who they got it from. It's history and I don't like revisionist.
