[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 291728, member: 112"]What I said Bone was this - And this comment of yours - - that commnet, seems at least to me when read in context with the rest of your comments, to imply that you think that the TPG's do favors for large repeat customers. This is a myth. Yes, many believe this myth, apparently you are among those who do. But it is simply not true. And this comment, which was repeated - Both of those comments seem to me that you are implying that the owner of the TPG, by walking an order through the grading room, is instructing his employees to assign a higher than deserved grade to a particular coin because it was submitted by a particular person. Now did I misread or misunderstand those comments ? Yes, as I have already stated, I agree that the owner of the TPG has personally walked coins through the grading room. What I disagree with, and what is not true, is that the owner of the TPG was instructing his employees to assign a higher than deserved grade for the coin in question. This is also a myth - it does not happen. However, like the previous myth, many choose to believe that it does. Those are the myths, or untruths, to which I was referring. Really ? Where ? I saw no such documentation posted by you or anyone else. I was replying to the original question. The original question was - Now I don't know about you, but that question seems to be talking about recent changes. I hardly think that the change in grading standards done by the ANA and the TPG's back in 1987 qualifies as recent.[/QUOTE]
