<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2322093, member: 76863&quot;]I&#039;m aware, but here is the part everyone always misses.&nbsp; There was no internet in the 80s, even in the 90s it wasn&#039;t close to what it was today.&nbsp; Today people are exposed to tens of thousands of coins they would have never known existed/looked like back then but we&#039;re somehow comparing their grading standards in cold hard facts based on the information that is now available today that was not then.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We make these blanket statements when the real truth is the first half of the TPG existence people/s experience with grades was what a show or their local show had, where as today you can find almost any coin they&#039;ve graded essentially.&nbsp; But no one ever accounts for the fact that back then you only saw what people wanted you to see. The amount of information available today is infinitely more than before for what they grade and how, and that doesn&#039;t even get into the issues of trying to grade from photos as opposed to in-hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
