First, I never said that gradeflation only occurs as the result of mistakes. Mistakes are a small part of the equation. From my earlier posts, I...
Doug, It is hard for me to dispute that gradeflation exists as a function of looser grading standards. What I don't believe is that the TPG's...

That is a nice IHC Larry. I got one that looks like it a little. [img] Coleguy, that large cent is cool but the next needed to be an IHC or...
PCGS also claims that you can crossover an NGC coin into a PCGS holder. If you ask anyone who has ever tried to cross an NGC coin to PCGS you...
