<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2188694, member: 112&quot;]Oh I understand the reasoning why people want the problem coins slabbed and why they want an estimation of detail condition. But what a lot of folks don&#039;t realize is what came before that. </p><p><br /></p><p>From the very beginning of the TPGs in 1986 there was always a small group that wanted problem coins slabbed. But for 21 years the TPGs swore up and down, in writing, that they would never, ever, under any conditions, slab problem coins. And then all of a sudden they threw the promises out the window and did. And I also understand why the TPGs went back on their word. </p><p><br /></p><p>But you see, people can only go back on their word so many times before some lose a great deal or all respect for them. The TPGs also swore they would never change their grading standards either and they did that several years before they started slabbing problem coins. All because they needed the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess we all should have known it, expected it even, from the very beginning for the purpose of a business is to make money, and to stay in business. But how long can you maintain respect for a business when they go back on their word, not just once, but numerous times ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
