Just my personal opinion, but Collector's Universe (owner of PCGS and B=
owers & Merena) made a grave mistake firing Q David Bowers. Dave is an Ico=
n in Numismatics! He has influenced each and every one of us in a positive=
way. Some people refer to shooting one's self in the foot... This is a c=
ase of shooting one's self in the head. The name Bowers & Merena should ju=
st be changed to Collector's Universe now - why have any connection to the =
name "Bowers"? While I'm on my soap box, I personally have wondered about =
what I perceive as a conflict of interest when the same company that sells =
slabs is also doing the slabbing. I don't know that anything fishy is goin=
g on but the potential is there. I had another thought that I wasn't going=
to share, but while I'm on a roll... How cool would it be if QDB was part=
of the Stack's organization! I don't know the personalities involved or t=
he logistics of that happening, but what a team that would make. Okay, I'v=
e stirred the hornet's nest enough. Any opinions from y'all. It shouldn't=
be necessary, but let me just state that these are my personal ramblings a=

Collector's Universe (owner of PCGS and Bowers & Merena) made a grave
mistake firing Q David Bowers. Dave is an Icon in Numismatics! He
has influenced each and every one of us in a positive way. Some people
refer to shooting one's self in the foot... This is a case of shooting
one's self in the head. The name Bowers & Merena should just be

I perceive as a conflict of interest when the same company that sells slabs is
