<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 314288, member: 246&quot;]For the most part I think their grading on non-moderns has loosened, but not horribly. ANACS seems to have resisted the so-called gradeflation much longer than the other TPG, but they did loosen their grading to the market a little. They needed to in order to continue to get submissions. With moderns they did start giving out 70s pretty easy. If you&#039;re the only service not giving out 70s and your 69s sell for less than slabbing fees, it&#039;s not hard to see that you&#039;re not going to get submissions for the biggest segment of the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, do we know that James Taylor was responsible for the grade changes? The changes could have just as easily been the result of the new owners looking for more submissions or the loss of key graders and them being replaced with more market oriented graders. </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think that ANACS was a decent service. Same for ICG. I suspect that most people won&#039;t notice a real difference in the grading standards with the swapping of employees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
