[QUOTE="kanga, post: 292140, member: 9270"]I personally have a hard time accepting CAC and their function. Mostly my reason for this position revolves around the fact that there's no industry-wide grading standards. I see it boiling down to an [U]opinion[/U] (CAC's) of an [U]opinion[/U] (a respected TPG's.) What does CAC do if they feel a coin has been undergraded by a significant amount?

I can extrapolate this out to another organization rendering their opinion (for a price) of CAC's opinion. Ridiculous? Look at all the upstart TPGs that are grading everything MS-69 and -70.
