<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 404435, member: 112&quot;]One comment I will make NP is this - there are two times when I will say that IMO the TPG gets it wrong. 1 - will be when the grade assigned to a coin does not match their own standards. Yes, grading is subjective, but that subjectivity can only go so far. I do not think that subjectivity can cover 3 grades for instance. Yes, it may cover a difference 64 to 65, but to cover the difference between 64 and 66, or even from 64 to 67 - that is a bit of a leap.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - the other time will be when the grade assigned based on their standards differs from the grade I would assign based on the ANA standards which is what I use. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will grant you, the subjectivity involved in the second instance is greater and therefore harder to claim that a grade is worng. But with the first instance, saying they are wrong is much easier to do. And IMO, it is also correct to do so. This is evidenced when even the TPG admits they made a mistake by buying back an over-graded coin. So when even the TPG itself admits they were wrong, I certianly see no harm in me saying so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
