<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jackhd, post: 2238550, member: 73897&quot;]I think Kurts and rzage point to the crux of the issue? In other words if folks are cracking slabs and re-submitting that seems like a strong indictment for a lack of grading standards among certifying services. I realize that there will always be some subjective margins for different grades, and maybe that&#039;s the essence of services like CAC. The problem is that if opinions can vary that much, what&#039;s actually gained with certifications? I&#039;m pretty sure that I&#039;m a victim of my own ignorance here. I see the ads in The Numismatist for CAC and MAC and I&#039;ve seen how tags from those services raise auction prices on TPG coins. I was just trying to wrap my head around the concept.
