<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2015327, member: 15309&quot;]So if it is essential from a financial standpoint to understand the grading practices of the TPG&#039;s, what good does it do to use the ANA grading standards?&nbsp; Of course that is a rhetorical question.&nbsp; The TPGs control the market so their standards are the only standards that are relevant.&nbsp; I told Doug for years that he will never be able to purchase graded coins again.&nbsp; He simply won&#039;t agree with any of the assigned grades and nobody is going to sell him the coin at a lower price simply because he thinks the coin is overgraded.</p><p><br /></p><p>My comment is not really meant as a slam on Doug.&nbsp; Rather it is meant to show that collectors who are actively engaged in the hobby don&#039;t have the luxury of simply following whatever grading standards they want, like Doug.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
