[QUOTE="lettow, post: 3605330, member: 6986"]*PQ means that the paper is original in that it has not been pressed, flattened or cleaned. It is not describing the overall condition of the paper. That is the technical or numerical grade. Comparing a 20PPQ with a 65 is comparing apples and oranges. The PQ was invented to distinguish between notes of the same technical grade but one has been messed with and the other not. The TPGs grade as presented. If a 45PPQ is pressed to remove folds making it UNC, the same TPG will grade it 64 no PQ. What you are describing is net grading and while there is merit to that approach, it is not the approach used by the TPG companies.[/QUOTE]
