<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2405512, member: 76863&quot;]Is it a crutch though if we are using all of the tools available to us?&nbsp; I completely agree that first group cannot be helped and imo that isn&#039;t the fault of the TPG either there is just a percentage of those types in society. </p><p><br /></p><p>But the more interesting discussion to me is the person using it as a tool in their arsenal.&nbsp; We could grade a 100 coins, look at a thousand different coins and grade that first 100 again and would likely have several with different grades than the first time.&nbsp; In something that isn&#039;t an exact science more respected opinions seems like a positive. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion we should all use all the tools available to us (TPGs ect) but at the end of the day (as you mentioned) we need to decide on our own what we like.&nbsp; No one should let anyone else tell them what they like, if you are sinking a ton of money into coins I take that statement back lol.&nbsp; But I think most of us get the gist, and people that dislike TPGs and the game that is all well and good but at the end of the day if people are buying what they like isn&#039;t that the whole goal?</p><p><br /></p><p>What if it is just a &quot;want&quot; or an assurance?&nbsp; I would like CAC to sticker all my coins as that extra seal of approval, but sometimes I just enjoy different things than they do and a coin I love will not sticker.&nbsp; We can certainly get caught up in the sticker no sticker slabbed vs raw ect very easily and often times we do, I think the key for all of us to remember is there is no right or wrong answer.&nbsp; We can&#039;t even agree on weather to grade with eye appeal or pure technical standpoint as a collecting community.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
