<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 493776, member: 705&quot;]Mike--I think you are missing a few things. First of all, there has been people trying to change the grading system for years. It isn&#039;t something new, and people have been working on it tryig to reach their own conclusion for years. It keeps going back to the market to decide, and if you really look at what you are talking about, I would agree with CaveTroll, that it looks alot like market grading with another name.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is how facts work. I&#039;ve asked Doug many times why, or about something he will say. If he doesn&#039;t have facts to back him up then he leaves the question for someone with the knowledge. What I like about Doug is that very fact. He researches something untill he learns how and why it works. Then if someone comes up with something different he will press for facts to learn how and why it might be differnet.</p><p>What people get mad at is when he asks for more details and when it comes right down to it...they don&#039;t have any. They are just blowing steam, so to speak.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll be the first to say that the grading system has problems...but the problem is where you have everyone useing different sets of of standards. IF we, the collectors, would band together and use ONE standard, then I think you would see a great turning around in todays market.</p><p>But while you have Joe useing PCGS&#039;s and Ben useings NGC, and Mike likes the ANA, and Bill uses Photograde....then you will keep having problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
