<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numan, post: 480069, member: 13259&quot;]I have been using the ANA Grading Standards, 6th edition.</p><p><br /></p><p>You guys are really getting at the basis of my other post &quot;Elements of Grading Part 2&quot;.&nbsp; I guess I really didn&#039;t realize until joining this forum how the TPGs are not necessarily playing by the same rules that I have been.&nbsp; I really try to grade my coins, and any I am looking to buy, by the ANA standards.&nbsp; I then look to the various pricing vehicles to determine a fair market price at that grade.&nbsp; Now I am finding out that the TPGs price is based, at least in part, on rarity and market value rather than grade.&nbsp; Although somewhat disillusioned by this , I want to figure out how to judge this and make it work in my favor.</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
