<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sandheath, post: 2418104, member: 78071&quot;]Granted TPGs are not perfect. I&#039;ve already said that. But looking at that large sample, as you put it, the TPGs do pretty darn well. If we look at a small sample, of course they don&#039;t pass muster. But then nobody does in that case. Having said that, you make some good points, Dave, and this is all good food for thought. I&#039;m not a collector and have no interest in collecting. I am a dealer. I buy and sell slabbed coins and raw coins (see my previous post) and generally do pretty well. I cherry pick what I buy for eye appeal. I&#039;m also an artist (you mentioned art) and photographer, so I have an edge there. One thing I am learning here--I have some slabbed coins in my inventory that I just can&#039;t get rid of. I guess I have to assume that these have been overgraded, and that prospective buyers can clearly see that. </p><p>One question--have you ever worked for a TPG? How do you know they spend seconds on each coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
