<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 166572, member: 3011"]I just don't understand the "broken clock is right twice a day" and "even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut" analogies that are frequently repeated when describing second tier TPG grading abilities. It almost sounds as if 75%+ of the coins they grade are wrong. Do these companies intentionally employ completely incompetent dumbells to do the grading, or are they just flat-out dishonest crooks preying on the unsuspected hobbyist? It must be one or the other. I can't imagine that the average hobbyist or even the average dealer would have such superior skills over a full time professional grader that they can make this statement with confidence without some insider knowledge about what is going on inside these TPGs. Is there some dirty little industry secret that the rest of us should know that substantiates these claims? Or is there just some sort of collusion among the top tier graders and their supporters to deceitfully badmouth the competition to maintain their top tier exclusivity?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
