[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1887894, member: 112"]Yeah Dave, I think the TPGs have plenty of uses. And, as I have said countless times, they are without a doubt the single best thing that ever happened to this hobby. But you point out 1 thing in my comments there that is not 100% true. Just find 1 for me. I tell the truth Dave, and I make a point of trying make sure that people know the truth about the TPGs, instead of just believing that they are be all end all of numismatics. That they can and do make mistakes. They that follow distinct policies and grade coins according their own personal grading standards and not somebody else's. That they are indeed more lenient, and quite intentionally so, with some coins than they are with others. That they have changed their grading standards over the years - and they have openly admitted doing exactly that. You see, I think people have a right, and even more than that they have a need, to know these things so that they can make better informed decisions regarding their hobby. It's not that I think I am better than they are or know more than they do, not have I ever claimed so. All I do is point out the truth.[/QUOTE]
