<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1597934, member: 42773"]The problem with the basement graders isn't that they're small, but that they hand out inflated grades. Give me a small grader that can properly authenticate coins and assign reasonably accurate grades, and I'll have as much respect for them as PCGS and NGC. The lower tier TPG's like ICG get a bad rep when, for instance, you constantly see coins graded a level or two above their obvious state, or they have extremely high pops of MS70 and PR70 coins. I mean, seriously...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
