[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3885433, member: 15309"]The only professional grader I know on these forums is Insider and he works for ICG which is a second tier TPG that doesn't offer a grade guarantee.

Nobody is disputing that gradeflation is real, but to blame it on a deliberate loosening of grading standards by the TPGs without proof is reckless and stinks of a conspiracy theory.
