It seems like ANACS grades the holograms because they display them in front.
But yes, it would be awesome to make a decentralized grading service. We can put holograms on the slabs to protect the inner ones! Yo dawg, I herd u lik tamper-evident seals...
Dammit, its almost like we have the designers (hologram my everything please), the critics, the professionals, the collectors, the enthusiasts, the reputed, the actual knowledge depth, the US/EU importers/exporters all here & active in the collectibles section. I'd stand up and man this thing, but I am not an OG enough to warrant such a move.
Isn't there a famous table or two around these parts...
I've never sent a thing into ANACS... There's a few members here who if started such a service, I would feel confident using.
Caveat: any coin/whatever maker shouldn't grade their own product.
EDIT: I always hated that they display the grade on the hologram side. like, wtf
EDIT 2: Oh yeah, then there's the whole fact that the crypto equivalent of the red book spawned off this very board. Okay, im sold, its just a matter of time before this all actually happens.
