<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 443861, member: 6370"]yeah...I am no fan of TPGs at all...I think they are a waste of money and there is simply no need for them. I am one of those guys that just need F, VF, FDC or UNC, etc... (MS whatever is, in and of itself, a scam to inflate prices). </p><p> </p><p>That being said, I must also say I would love to see ANY statement from people who work for TPGs that admit they assign MS70 grades on an arbitrary basis like stated here. Or how it is common knowdelge that this is done.

I do not believe they just pull a grade out of the air without at least trying to justify it...though I would still never use them and no, I dont think they possess any skill or knowledge that a good honest long term collector doesnt have...then again I just have never cared about the difference between MS grades and I disagree with them all together...they stand for More $ if you ask me...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
