or WHich one was Adopted

Before I collected comic books I collected pennies. These copper coins were easily procured from my grandparents and parents, although my Pop-Pop gave me dollars. Once home they would make it inside a piggy bank and eventually taken to the bank for larger denominations to spend on candy.

As I got older I still love a good wheat cent, but that's about it, unless it's silver. I don't collect coins anymore and the title of the journal isn't so much to gang up on NGC, but to take a look at how unfair we are being treated compared to a numismatist. Even their name is cool. A coin collector can go into any bar and a woman could ask them what are you into and when he answers I'm a numismatist, they are like oooh, with the possibility of not even knowing what a numismatist is. I go into a bar and they ask what I am into and I say comic books, they looked perplexed with...oh, and turn away, but I digress.

CGC has one office in Sarasota Florida. NGC has at least three, one in Sarasota Florida, and another in Switzerland, and a third in German. For some reason I remember seeing a total of six NGC offices that can grade coins. If you click the following

and scroll to the bottom you will see an area with 14 global sites, FOURTEEN. I bet they don't complain about turnaround times. It does make collecting comic books seem like a redheaded stepchild. I like collecting comic books and I would like to see CGC offer more. Shall we delve into what else CGC has to offer?

Thanks for Reading
