[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3295438, member: 76863"]As they should. I would be worried if nothing had changed in the last 30 years and I would be worried if 30 years from now they're the exact same as today. Things change, things evolve, knowledge expands, that's part of life and happens in everything. You either keep learning and evolve or get left behind. The massive resistance to any sort of change in the hobby is not doing the hobby any favors. The same way your generation "loosened" the standards, and the generation before you did the same and before that the same ect. Every generation has "loosened" aka changed the standards for grading that's not unique to the TPGs. Among coin forum posters maybe, but that is just a tiny microcosm of collectors as the whole. Except its not crap its the truth. All standards do change over time with the expansion of knowledge. We would still be living in caves hunting with sticks and rocks if they didn't.[/QUOTE]
