So, after a little over 10 years now of CGC and all the early naysayers of its viability or impending vulnerability due to outside low balling competitors we've really seen only one company stand up to the industry leader. With PGX having been on the scene now for several years as at least a viable competitor I was curious to ask some of the fellow fans out there what their informed thoughts were.

I have trolled all over forums and search engines to see whether there was a discernible difference in professional opinion over the quality of services offered but have yet to really come up with a comprehensive answer. I myself have only ever gone through CGC to submit books for grading and have done so since their inception. Yet even in reading PGX comics or CGC - there's really not much with which to go by. You hate to start asking them to list their graders and their professional resume - but really is it that much different then than having an all star line up on your favorite fantasy team ?

Within any industry - you want to have the best working for you. You also want to have competitive prices at a margin to induce consumers to your product. It astounds me though - a decade later - that we don't have a truly cohesive way to evaluate the respective companies. These are, however, my rambling thoughts - and besides, my wife tells me its about time for my nap and to not worry so much. All your thoughts are welcome !
