<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3438011, member: 112"]Ya know, I'm sitting here smiling to myself because I think I could have written this entire thread by myself, right down to predicting who would say what and when they would say it. Well, except for the parts about John/Bill, that I wouldn't have known. I mean it's almost like remakes of old movies, ya just take the old script, change a few words here and there - and voila. But I gotta admit that when I read this -</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-well, when I read that I just laughed right out loud ! That, that is just classic Paul being Paul. I mean leave it to him to come up with a way to take something like - <i>oh, all those contact marks, or, that wear on the high points, or, those rim dings, or, those planchet flaws, or, or, or ...... those things don't count, we're just going to ignore those things and pretend they aren't there</i> - and put it into some euphemistic double talk in an effort to simply explain away why the TPGs grade the way they do. Classic I tell ya, simply classic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and the coin, I don't think I even need to say because I don't think I'm the only one who's ever seen this movie so I doubt anybody will be surprised when I say 65.
