[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 8197377, member: 73489"]It's not about complaining, Charley....I think on-balance the TPGs have been a Godsend to this industry, esp. to novice/interemdiate collectors like me. Veterans with greater grading skills than me may approach that question differentily, I grant you. [B][I]The specific issue is a few coins which have mysteriously gone up several grades after NOT being given those grades during earlier submissions. [/I][/B] Going up 2 full grades is not a question of catching a more lenient grader or someone being in a better mood that day. Especially when it takes up the value of a coin by 10-30 times. Again, I think the TPGs are on positive a HUGE PLUS...it's about asking why and how some coins, submitted by some dealers, have suddenly gone up into a rare conditional grade that is worth alot of $$$. [B][I]You don't find that interesting ?[/I][/B] I'm not really interested in gaming the system for profit, again, I'm just wondering why a few coins, submitted by some individuals, have gone up MORE than 1 full grade...into conditions worth a huge increase in $$$....and many times, after NOT going up a grade or less during an earlier submission. [I]Is that like the NY Mets Blue Line that sits in the bleachers at CifiFIELD ? [/I]:D[/QUOTE]
