[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 703472, member: 112"]Contrary to what some may tell you, learning to grade accurately is not an easy task. It requires a great deal of time, experience and study. A large part of the reason that grading seems so subjective is because very, very few collectors & dealers out there are equal in regard to their knowledge and experience about grading. Some may have 10 years experience, some 20, some 40 or more. And each is usually better at one particular series than the others. Now given that, how could you possibly expect grading results to be anything but subjective ! However, you get 10 people together all of whom have an equal amount of knowledge and experience about grading a particular series, or several series - and you'll find out that pretty much all of that subjectivity flies out the window. Just like coins are not equal - well the people doing the grading are very seldom equal as well.[/QUOTE]
