First I want to say this site has so much useful information I am telling everyone I know about it, It has given me some insight into at least what I should be looking for.

I have noticed that in the last couple of post they dont talk about EGL as much. Is it a reliable "institution".

Me doing homework is amazing, my high school teachers would be amazed, but then again she is worth it

Not as reliable as GIA or AGS. EGL-USA is the only form of EGL you should check out, the foreign certs suck. From what I've heard, more EGL certs check out as being accurate than not, but sometimes they can be a color/clarity grade or two off.
 
egl usa certs are usualy within 1 grade on color and clarity compared to gia and ags.
I wouldnt buy one without having an independant appraiser grade it first and make the purchase decision on that and not the cert.
Honestly I dont think its worth the hassle.

The non-us egl reports make very poor toilet paper and arent worth more than that.
 
For most EGL certs knock at least 1 to 2 grades down what a GIA would say as a general rule, hence the price difference...there is quite a noticable difference.
 
E.G.L CERTS.are trading for less money than G.I.A/AGS Certs.
Reason for that is that E.G.L tends to be more lienient on their grading,E.G.L will give it the benefit of the doubt,whereas the others don't and are much more strict.

When mounted it is very difficult to determine which lab it is.If it's withing one grade or one shade up or down.
