<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2349326, member: 24314"]Actually, this is not entirely true! In many instances (try this for yourselves) the grade a person assigns one day may be close BUT DIFFERENT the next time it is examined a few days later. Many times in the past, I have graded one of my coins; put the grade and a price on the 2X2 and weeks later I have thought to myself: "Who is the blind, ignorant idiot who graded this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I have heard this happens at TPGS's too. Want to hear some funny stories? Attend the ANA Summer Seminar; bring a six pack to the "Moonlight" gathering; wait 'til all the beer is gone; and start asking questions of the instructors who are professional graders as they may be inclined to share some personal experiences. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie92" alt=":stop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
