We are proud to announce that we are making great strides towards making CACG a reality. We have planned a soft launch for our shareholders who may submit a limited number of coins for CACG consideration in Virginia Beach as early as June 1st.
This initial run-through will help us hammer out unforeseen bugs in our operations so that we may accept a second round of submissions for consideration, this time for all current CAC members. We believe the second round may happen as soon as July 15th and we will follow up with additional information regarding submission procedures.
We will continue to sticker coins at our office in NJ but the regular tier will remain suspended. We plan on opening the regular tier once we determine our CACG price point and adjust our stickering fees.
Once we begin encapsulating coins in VA, we will open up the grandfathered tier for CAC stickering to all current CAC collector members. These members will be entitled annually to 20 economy coins with 100% rebates for coins that do not pass. Please wait for instructions on how to submit coins on this special tier before sending them in to avoid confusion.
We appreciate your support and patience as we move through this transition.
PCGS must be feeling the heat. There was a thread posted today about the soft launch on the PCGS forum, and it's been wiped off the boards in the past couple hours. Second time i've seen them do that with a CAC thread in the past month. Historically, we’ve always been allowed to discuss CAC, and I’m really not a fan of that type of oversight, curious where the line is now on what big brother will allow us to discuss in the future.

I am sure it was viewed as breaking rule #4, promoting another grading service. I saw the thread and someone else commented that they were pretty sure it was against the rules (or something like that) while others agreed with that comment. If you owned McDonald's and you hosted a forum for fans of McDonald's would you welcome people to the forum promoting Burger King? It just wouldn't make sense. I am surprised they have allowed as many threads as they have.

The logic makes sense, yes. But if that were the case and the rules were enforced consistently, then the NGC threads (NGCX, Improved photography) or the ANACS threads (improved grading as of late, quick turn around times) would be wiped also. As we both know, those threads were permitted to run. Where exactly does the line fall between “promoting” and “discussing”?

Agreed. Where does talking about CAC PCGS Registry sets fall?😉. Capricious moderation takes a toll.

There is no defined "line", it falls wherever the mod feels like it should on any given day. There is a several days (maybe a week now) old thread bashing NGC that is clearly against the rules of the PCGS forum, yet it is still alive and kicking while the CAC stuff gets nuked.
The aforementioned thread has been there for over two weeks, over 2k views. Now on page 2. The title alone should have caused it to be immediately deleted. Selective enforcement of their own rule. Nice.

I just revisited that thread again, briefly and saw very little bashing of NGC. I think I’ve seen more PCGS bashing here, than NGC bashing in that thread.
