Otherwise they would have sold already since they are Buy It Now auctions. But because they are priced well above the established price for the grade - they have not sold.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>OK, but is this guide even worth the time it tales to read it ? No, we both know it isn&#039;t. There is a guide that is fairly accurate - you posted a good example of it, completed auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your right, there is no single definitive grading guide. The TPG&#039;s however each uses their own guide and the market is well aware of it. And the market establishes prices quite handily for coins graded by each of the top TPG&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have already explained the differences it makes, you however disagree. OK, I&#039;m fine with that. You are welcome to believe what you wish. And you don&#039;t really need to ask anybody to find out if the majority agrees or not - all you have to do is observe. The market speaks every time a coin is sold. Anyone who wishes to do so can look for themselves and make their own determination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
