[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 908326, member: 112"]That's only because of your personal definition of market grading Mike - "[I]Market Grading speaks to the value or relative ranking of a coin." [/I] An inaccurate definition in my opinion. Even PCGS disagrees with your definition. Now that is not to say that I disagree that value plays a part in what is called market grading now. I freely admit that it does. But it was not always so. My point is that you can no longer call what the TPGs do market grading than you can call it technical grading. They have added entirely new criteria to the grading system, just like when new criteria were added to the technical grading system. Back then, techinical grading could not be used as the name for the system any more. And today, market grading cannot be used for the name anymore either. Today, it is value grading. Perhaps you don't remember the changes from the last time and what it was like. But I do. And what is done today is just as big of a change as what market grading was from technical grading. And it is high time that people start to recognize that can call it what it is. Not what it is not.[/QUOTE]
