<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1497728, member: 15309&quot;]This is completely wrong.&nbsp; All of it, a bunch of bunk.</p><p><br /></p><p>TPG&#039;s survive based on consistency, not incentives.&nbsp; You are accusing the TPG&#039;s of deliberately &quot;Genuine&quot; grading toned coins so that they can double/triple up on the grading fees because they know the coin will be resubmitted.&nbsp; What evidence do you have to support this ridiculous assertion?&nbsp; Furthermore, the TPG&#039;s could survive easily without ever grading another resubmission.&nbsp; The number of modern coins produced by the mint each year and the rapid expansion of grading within the world coin market is enough to keep them going indefinitely.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>With respect to the cause of gradeflation, I refuse to enter into the tenth debate about the same subject with Doug.&nbsp; In short, he believes that the TPG&#039;s have changed their standards and I believe that gradeflation is caused by the inherent subjectivity of the grading process.</p><p><br /></p><p>@Rusty, most people on the major forums who talk about the change in grading standards think that the standards actually tightened up again with the inception of the CAC which was about 5 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
