Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2019502, member: 37839"]Doug, you don't get it--and trying to indoctrinate me is offensive, IMHO.  You should know better than that--this is a message board for collectors with forums that represent divergent opinions, and if you want respect, you should be prepared to give it.  I will never agree with you, as I feel there are basic fallacies in you arguments, and find the endless, condescending repetitions of "this is what is right, because I believe it" downright offensive, and condescending.  I don't want you to educate me in grading--in fact, I probably have had more experience in grading than you have over the years, and welcome the "new" standards as developed by the Sheldon scale, the A.N.A, and reputable TPGs such as PCGS and NGC. (I put new in quotes, as there is nothing new in progress--it has existed for over 20 years, and the Doug system is archaic).  I DON'T WANT the Doug grading scale.  Let me stick with the professionals in the field.[/QUOTE]
