Thank you tcore...it is the reason why I concentrated this analysis on moderns...for this is the future of TPG's as these coins are the life line of their business going forward.
Collectors are payiing some serious dollars for the "best of the best" and with that said, anybody can see why certain companies realize more dollars for their slabbed products than others...even though both have the SAME posted grade for the SAME coin.
I don't think it would be that much of an issue, but when one TPG gives out 4, 5, 10, 15 times MORE 70 grades than the other...you have to think that the numismatic community is taking notice!
Run your own numbers yourself. Take a look at the number of total submissions for a given coin in a given grade and see how many were graded MS66 versus MS67. Go ahead and make the argument that the given TPG happened to receive MORE MS67 submissions, but when you see a pattern to these numbers, anybody understanding 5th grade math can easily figure them out.
