<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 2014907, member: 58810&quot;]Simple. Stop the bias. I don&#039;t care who you are or unbiased that you think you are. Guess what if you are alive and also a human you are always biased. Some situations you are only minimally biased, such as you have nothing to gain either way the decision goes. You will always have a skewed perspective based on life experiences so it is still there. Now when you are alive, are human and have a direct financial investment in the decision I.e. What grade my coins actually are you are by simple definition highly biased. Anyone who argues this point needs to review the idea of bias.</p><p><br /></p><p>This problem is so bad that companies make lots of money trying to solve or simply improve the situation. The tpg has a bias as the company is made up by humans and money is involved. There is simply much less bias then relying of the dealer selling his own coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many people want to collect coins but simply don&#039;t have the time to invest to the point where you don&#039;t make huge mistakes costing serious money. The tpg creates some liquidity and allows for a way to minimize the loss involved in buying a coin that you didn&#039;t accurately grade. If I didn&#039;t have that stopgap measure that allows me to have something resembling a limit on how much money I would lose then I would never buy coins because that would leave me arguing grades with someone highly biased, by definition as they are alive, human and have a direct financial outcome from their grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anything I said was inaccurate then I can&#039;t really see how tpg&#039;s would even exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
