<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2260092, member: 34882&quot;]Even for almost ten years later the threads topic is still relevant today. I think certain TPG&#039;s have gotten worse with &#039;market acceptable grading&#039; inflating grades notably PCGS. Personally I&#039;m not a fan of slabs for grades assigned by a third party; but I do like them as a protection method for coins. What&#039;s the old saying &#039;buy the coin not the slab&#039;. I think it&#039;s more relevant than ever as TPG&#039;s seemingly keep grading coins upward due to what&#039;s become &#039;market acceptable&#039;. Do the coins deserve the grade or is it because many collectors no longer know how to accurately grade and rely on what the TPG&#039;s slabs tell them a coins grade is. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does this lack of knowledge allow big companies who certainly have a vested interest in keeping coins flowing in and back in for grading/regrading to inflate grades? I mean corporations especially publicly traded ones are beholden to operate for the shareholders benefit making profits. Why do so many people seek out coins in the older slabs especially to play the crack out and regrade game to profit on upgrades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
