<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 464903, member: 15199&quot;]It is just a step to fractional grading by the TPGs. Since most feel there is sill differences between ( example) a 63 and a 64, they try to quantitize that. I have read accounts for former TP Graders that they had an A,B,C internal marking until the finalization. CAC is saying they can recognize the &quot;C&quot; group and identify them with the green sticker. Probably most experienced collectors could also. The label is for those who can&#039;t, or won&#039;t take the time to learn. I expect sometime for a TPG to issue 63.1, 63.2....63.9 grades, or maybe the A,B,C&nbsp; grouping&nbsp; ( 63A, 63B,63C). </p><p><br /></p><p>TPG service is all about selling the &quot;appearance&quot; of their education and experience. If you have the education and experience, then you need neither&nbsp; TPG or CAC. If you are shakey about your skills and knowledge, then you aren&#039;t buying the slab, you are buying their experience and knowledge. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
