<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1652138, member: 112&quot;]Let me ask you a question, how do you define &quot;market grading&quot; ? </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a lot of people, and I mean a lot, who are very knowledgeable and experienced collectors who say that the TPGs do not grade coins, that they price them. That&#039;s what they call market grading. (I am not one of those people btw)</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if that is the case, then it must be admitted that they do it to all coins, not just some of them. And if the price goes up then the grade goes up - if they are pricing the coins instead of grading them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, pretty much everyone agrees that the TPGs routinely and very intentionally over-grade coins of high value. You&#039;d be hard pressed to find an experienced collector or dealer to disagree with that. But that is an entirely different thing than what we are talking about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
