<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 74653, member: 3011&quot;]I&#039;m just saying that the TPGs have made a bad choice.&nbsp; Call it a lack of foresight on their part, or poor historical perspective, or too much concentration on making money, or too much ego, or a misunderstanding of the level of service they COULD provide to the hobby compared to what they do.&nbsp; Numismatics is basically a form of &quot;coin archeology.&quot;&nbsp; The TPGs could provide a tremendous service to the collectors of the present and future by authenticating, grading, preserving, and categorizing as many coins as they can.&nbsp; Instead they choose to try to impose their narrow standards on numismatics forever.&nbsp; Nobody knows what will be important 100 years from now, so everything deserves to be saved and treated as valuable.&nbsp; If I owned one of these companies, I&#039;d slab everything with as much accuracy and information as possible, and let the marketplace and the future determine how to treat it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I guess you can tell I have a strong opinion on the subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
