<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1403983, member: 112&quot;]That&#039;s what I expected you to say. Funny though, gVF pretty much equals VF25 doesn&#039;t it ?</p><p><br /></p><p>European grading parlance&nbsp; - vs - US grading parlance</p><p><br /></p><p>about VF&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; VF20</p><p>good VF&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; VF25</p><p>very good VF&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; VF30</p><p>choice VF&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; VF35</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is this, there is really very little difference between European grading and US grading. European uses adjectival and US uses numerical. But when push comes to shove they are same thing for the Europeans use just as many adjectives as we do numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one difference is in the MS grades, they do not have enough adjectives to equate to the 11 numerical MS grades. In that regard they are still back where we were before the advent of the TPGs, with only 3 or 4 MS grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me European grading and MS grading are nothing but two different shades of black. But they are both still black.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
