[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3099512, member: 92655"]I do have a question for you. Somewhat rhetorical as I believe I probably know the answer. My work is high volume service industry related work. When my "in box" is stacked 18" deep with requests, I would readily admit that while each request will be dealt with, it will likely not be dealt with as thoroughly as my pride would allow me to admit. So, the TPG grader has a basket staked a mile high with submissions. This TPG grader is as proud of his work as anyone else. But he can't miss his sons ballgame this afternoon. However the guy submitting the piece demands it's return expeditiously, so say his Morgan is looked at maybe a little faster than the grader would like. Maybe a 64-65, but gets a grade of 66 in the rush of the day. A year later that coin is out on the market. Those with some experience view the coin and the bashing begins... The Morgan is over graded. The bashing grows into a monster due to guys like us (and yes I include myself in "us")... And before you know it one or two hurriedly graded pieces turn into, "That TPG is a sham" sorts of statements...... Am I painting a real world scenario here?[/QUOTE]
