<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 2435788, member: 3726&quot;]So you think tpgs are always right on the first go around? If this is what you think this is dishonesty you should never buy a graded coin.&nbsp; You never know how many times it has been graded.&nbsp; I find it easy to just skip graded coins that I think are over graded - not saying they are, but why should I pay 64 money for what I think is 63(or less coin). Once dealers start getting stuck with these coins because collectors are not buying then maybe the tpg&#039;s will tighten the standards.&nbsp; I am by far not a perfect grader and do not pretend to know as much as the tpg&#039;s, but I do know what I like.&nbsp; And buy the way I do look for coins that I think are under-graded - the right coin I would crack in a heartbeat and send to a tpg.&nbsp; I did it before and would do it again.&nbsp; I don&#039;t consider it dishonest - if you know your stuff you can find them.&nbsp; The tpg&#039;s are not perfect and neither is CAC - both make mistakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I was going to the ANA worlds fair of money - I think this would be interesting.&nbsp; If someone attends Ricks presentation they should post a write up of what they think.&nbsp; It is mentions in his email a way to prevent grade-inflation which some moderator(now who could that be<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) has been saying for sometime now.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>&quot;A new grading system!&quot;</b></p><p><b>ANA World Fair of Money presentation</b></p><p><b>By Rick Snow, August 11, 2016&nbsp; 9:00 AM </b></p><p><b></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
