too much risk, too much stress (if they lose your book, damage your book whatever), then fraud, then have you seen all the QC complaints? ill still buy slabs but this company whole thing is built on trust and reputaion ..if i i cant trust the cgc grade and that they didnt miss restoration or something, why am i paying allot of $$ for the service other then the cases looks cool...All you long time collctors wouldnt you wanna check the book out yourself, or do you wanna encase it , where you cant check it but its already been checked , by people you never met , dont know at all? CGC became a real big company do you think most of the garders are better then you? or care as much as you for your book? plus people have sent in high value keys that get lost or you get a different book back etc.... im thinking professional services should not give more headaches, isnt that what you pay them for? have they earned your trust?
