I rarely bother with them since most follow the same path of everyone agreeing once a couple people post the same grade, someone almost always bashes the TPG grade or acts superior, and a lot of the time most people guess low because they want to appear to be tight graders. </p><p><br /></p><p>To make it even worse some of the people that do the things mentioned above then want very different standards when it's their coin being graded by the TPGs. I only participate on a handful of threads on this forum at this point, I have no interest in getting caught in the middle of the negativity of GTG threads. Definitive grading HAS to be done in hand, looking at a over magnified picture is not proof of disproving the TPGs. Also it's way to repetitive having to consistently point out that tiny little marks on 20 inch monitors basically aren't even visible on a dime in hand ect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
