<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 524391, member: 4920&quot;]Count me into that group, but I am starting to get it, I think. You used an interesting term, earlier, &quot;value grading.&quot; May I expand on that, and add, &quot;as distinguished from [ANA] market grading?&quot; See, I told you I&#039;m paying attention. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO, Doug, the TPGs are the best at what they do. What their standards are, that&#039;s still anybody&#039;s guess. But (and, I&#039;m just throwing this thought out), perhaps that&#039;s the way it should be. If they&#039;re indeed &quot;value grading&quot; (which, of course, I believe they are), their only true standard is what their experiences and databases of comparables tell them the market will bear. As such, take a criteria as silly as &quot;pedigree,&quot; in terms of it being a &quot;grading factor.&quot; All that is is a status symbol. However, because a good portion of the market values that, it necessarily has to bear on the TPGs [value] grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, CAC? I&#039;ll spare you my thoughts on those guys for now, Doug...but, only out of respect, because I&#039;m appreciative of the lessons I&#039;ve learned from you over the three years I&#039;ve been here. But, if it weren&#039;t for that... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
