<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2476384, member: 24314&quot;]question for you, and you might actually know the answer - can you define &quot;the past&quot; for us ? I guess I want to ask 2 questions really: 1 - your comment seems to imply that at some point in the past that PCGS required both sets of bell lines to be clear, distinct, and unbroken. Is that correct, <span style="color: #b30000">yes</span>and if so when did PCGS change their requirement ? <span style="color: #b30000">sometime between the printing of their grading guide books.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m asking that particular question because for as long as I can remember the PCGS requirements have always been the same. I cannot recall there ever being a change. But if you can, I&#039;d honestly like to know about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second question, can you recall when, in what year, the TPGs first started using the special designations ? And not just for Frankies, but all of them ? Nobody I&#039;ve ever asked has ever been able to answer that for me. As far as I can recall they have always used them. <span style="color: #b30000">That&#039;s what I think.&nbsp; I know the step designations were changed during this period. </span>I can remember when they started with Rosies, but that&#039;s the only one.<span style="color: #b30000"> I&#039;ll find out.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
