<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1781926, member: 37839"]Yes, people will believe what they want to believe. If you conducted a scientific poll here asking about your grading, I would think that most folks would vote (especially anonymously, as you are a nice guy, and experienced with coins, so there is plenty of knowledge there) that you consistently UNDERGRADE coins by any standards. The perfect example is on the guess the grade threads where you tend to be 1-2 grades UNDER everybody else. That tends to indicate overconfidence in grading skills, or a rubric that is simply too harsh for today's world. I am not a "kool-aid drinker;" simply a pragmatist. I tend to believe that the TPGs, whose business it is to grade coins are more accurate than you--nothing personal, merely reflective of the business that they are in. Are they perfectly consistent? NO. They are not superior beings, and are not omniscient, but for the most part, they're darn good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
