<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3626122, member: 19165&quot;]While that used to be true, I was inspired to do this study based partly on NGC&#039;s new Ebay expert review service. They look at an Ebay listing and offer opinions on authenticity and likely grade range based on the photos. If they can do it, why can&#039;t we? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I understand where you&#039;re coming from on this, but that would actually be contrary to the idea of the &quot;wisdom of the crowds&quot;. Everyone&#039;s opinion is weighted equally, and often the consensus comes closer than an expert&#039;s guess (as alluded to in your story of the steer). Three expert guesses might be really close but 50 pounds off. The consensus was nearly spot on. If you start to rank guesses based on expertise, you distort that consensus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
