<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1580710, member: 4626&quot;]You obviously didn&#039;t get my reference to the Beatles as a <i>past</i> fad... a term that describes the fact they have broken up in 1970 and have produced no new material since.</p><p><br /></p><p>And currency grading clearly isn&#039;t on the rise.&nbsp; It&#039;s not dead, probably not even dying really, but it&#039;s no bigger than it was when it first existed and likely is even smaller.&nbsp; And it&#039;s nowhere near as big as coin grading, and doesn&#039;t look like it will even get anywhere close anytime soon.&nbsp; If you seriously think currency grade is, was, or ever will be, anywhere equivalent to the popularity of the Beatles, you need to seriously reevaluate such an appraisal.&nbsp; &quot;Bigger than Jesus&quot; it definitely isn&#039;t, hasn&#039;t been, or likely ever will be.&nbsp; Even most people that don&#039;t like the Beatles or ever heard their music at least have heard <i>of</i> them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve met many people who aren&#039;t aware that currency grading companies even exist (or still do if they&#039;re aware that they have at one point).&nbsp; And by my observation of venues I&#039;ve been to where currency is sold, only a very small percentage of it is graded, in the same places where almost 100% of the coins are.&nbsp; If coin TPGs are the Beatles, currency TPGs are at best Nickelback.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
