[QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2480341, member: 78153"]What both you and the post to which you responded are predominantly describing is the characteristic of a weak market. Though I agree that buyers want to pay less, somehow, I have the sneaking suspicion this wouldn't be proposed if demand were stronger. I couldn't find the article but I don't need to read it to know there is no need for a revised grading scale. The existing 70 point scale already uses over two dozen MS grades when "+" grades are included and the differences between them are minimal. This supposed "problem" can be rectified by not paying exorbitant premiums for such minimal differences in quality. Any change in the grading scale will be great for the TPG if they can convince enough collectors and "investors" to waste their money on resubmissions and for dealers and auction firms if they can use it to separate buyers from more of their money.[/QUOTE]
