<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2019611, member: 15309&quot;]Now that is the first time you ever used that date.&nbsp; Let me get this straight.&nbsp; You are saying that the PCGS opened in 1986, loosened their standards within a year when they changed from the rattler holder to the OGH.&nbsp; Then in 1998 when they switched from the OGH to the blue, they loosened their standards again.&nbsp; Then in 2004 they loosened their standards for the 3rd time and this change was dramatic and was the last straw for you in terms of their credibility.&nbsp; Did this change in 2004 also have a corresponding slab change?</p><p><br /></p><p>The truth is that shortly after the inception of the TPGs in 1986, the founders realized that they needed to adjust their grading standards because they were too conservative.&nbsp; It had nothing to do with the rattler slab which was changed in 1989 because of problems with counterfeit slabs.&nbsp; To equate slab changes with the loosening of grading standards rather than increased security measures is just sophomoric.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have been unsuccessful in your attempt to prove that the TPGs loosened their grading standards in 2004, so now you are doubling down with 1998.&nbsp; Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes that is the book I am talking about.&nbsp; The problem is that it was published in 1984 under a different name.&nbsp; Are you going to claim that <a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/about.zx?id=halperin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/about.zx?id=halperin" rel="nofollow">Jim Halperin&#039;s Biography</a> that is listed on the website of the company that he founded is incorrect?</p><p><br /></p><p>Look who is wrong again!&nbsp; Aren&#039;t you the guy who says he will admit when he is wrong?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
