I am not criticizing those who crack out coins for upgrades. <i>I do that myself. </i> After all, who would leave large sums of money on the table? I am critical of Legend because she talks down and criticizes others for doing the same thing she does. It is hypocritical. It you call others "bottom feeders," insinuate that they are unethical/destroying the hobby, and play holier than thou then you should have clean hands and not engage in the same thing you criticize others for.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>2. Laura did take credit for convincing PCGS to remove the extra images in Coin Facts, and she discussed it freely on the PCGS Forums. It wasn't innocent either. She wrote that she lobbied them because the images hindered her ability to bring new blood into the hobby and to tell them that coin grading was consistent over time. If you read any of her blog posts or other posts on coin forums, pretending she believes that grading is consistent over time is laughable and facetious at best. If it wasn't for her hand in removing the images, then I couldn't attribute blame to her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
