<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1850824, member: 36248&quot;]Well, I wasn&#039;t trying to mess with you.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I also was not counting coins that have no numismatic value, like your pocket change.&nbsp; &nbsp; There are still tons of fresh raw numismatically valuable coins that could be TPG but have not been yet.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I just don&#039;t think your argument that standards are being lowered so that people trying to upgrade plastic can be the TPGs primary source of revenue holds much water.&nbsp; &nbsp; Do you really think the TPG are not also busy grading raw coins, and that the only thing left to grade is already slabbed previous generation holder and crossovers?&nbsp; &nbsp; TPG Grading has evolved for sure as Doug has said many times, but <b>Correlation does not imply causation.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I personally don&#039;t collect raw, because I grade coins worse than a blind saki money, so I need the blessing of TPG and CAC.&nbsp; Yes, that is lame.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I also have personally submitted coins to NGC, as have many thousands of others here, and there will be raw coins overwhelming TPG for many years to come.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, my point in the previous post was more to <a href="http://www.coinweek.com/commentary/opinion/its-time-for-third-party-grading-companies-to-take-circulated-classic-coins-seriously/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinweek.com/commentary/opinion/its-time-for-third-party-grading-companies-to-take-circulated-classic-coins-seriously/" rel="nofollow">highlight this article</a>, not to mess with you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
