That was almost 20 years ago. But short answer to your question - no, I don&#039;t have a link to it. A whole lot of links from back then are dead (as in no longer existing in today&#039;s world). </p><p><br /></p><p>But I wrote about the ANA grading standards and what very, very few changes they&#039;ve made over the years in the various editions of their grading standards book over the years here on the forum. And if took the time to do the searching you could find all those posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I&#039;ll shortcut it for you. In the ANA grading standards the change over from the technical grading system which was used from 1977 in the 1st edition until 1986, to the market grading system (which is still used to today) occurred in 1986 in the 3rd edition of the ANA book which was actually published in 1987. Written in &#039;86, published in &#039;87 - (it takes a while to write it before it can be published in book form.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Short and sweet, the written descriptions of the various grades for Walkers has not changed since 1986. The written words are the same - verbatim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
