<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 669020, member: 11467&quot;]Doug, I don&#039;t think the grading companies are always tightening up and neither do a number of the very large submitters I talk to. But many of them have indicated that grading has been tougher, overall, for about the past 3 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m talking about major wholesalers who don&#039;t typically speak out on coin forums, etc. and who easily submit large enough quantities of coins to get a good feel for the grading. Also, many of the people you speak of who made money on upgrades over a period of many years, have had a much more difficult time doing so the past few years. I believe that most people are far more likely to speak up and brag about up-grades than they are to share their failures with others. So we get a skewed view of results in public venues.</p><p><br /></p><p>If enough people give opinions on this topic, there are bound to be disagreements, and I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
