<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2345288, member: 29751&quot;]While I agree with you in theory, I think it&#039;s pretty much impossible to be &quot;blinded&quot; to who is submitting a coin for grading in certain cases.&nbsp; For example, when an NGC or PCGS grader has a box of 500 NCLT Niue &quot;coins&quot; come in for grading, they can be pretty sure it isn&#039;t &quot;Joe the Plumber&quot; collector.&nbsp; I also believe that when a particularly high end submission comes in from one of the big dealers, graders have enough experience to guess as to it being a dealer submission versus a Joe Schmoe submission. Sure, they don&#039;t know for certain - but they can surmise based on the likelihoods. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I do believe there is a little too much paranoia about grading being rigged against the little guys; however, I also see how it&#039;s almost impossible for the TPGs to be blinded to the larger and exceptional submissions from dealers and bullion slabbers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
