<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1503757, member: 37839&quot;]Thank you for summing it up so accurately and cogently.&nbsp; Collectors who use TPG and 4th party endorsements are not looking to test or abrogate&nbsp; their grading skills--they are vindicating large purchases (or repeated purchases of pricey coin series) as being both authentic, and appropriately graded.Coin collecting isn&#039;t a game--it is a very pricey and time consuming hobby for the serious collector.&nbsp;&nbsp; It isn&#039;t because they need some infantile grading test to see if they are &quot;worthy&quot; of cherrypicking a raw gem out of the garbage box--it is for providing the assurance that the purchases they make will hold their value, and in many cases, increase in value.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t about grading expertise--it is about value of money spent for a collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
