<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3210045, member: 36230&quot;]It&#039;s a cutesy saying and nothing more, but is one often repeated by those wishing to look/play the part of knowledgeable. Simply ignore it.</p><p><br /></p><p>TPGs do not exist for the collector&#039;s benefit. They&#039;re for-profit businesses and nothing more. They must make money or go out of business and means they must fill a niche and need of the consumer. ANACS accomplishes this by attributing so many varieties as well as doing so at a comparatively low price. PCGS largely relies on how the greater market views coins in the holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Going back to the &quot;I can&#039;t grade&quot; thing, what do you suppose would happen if a so-called &quot;lesser&quot; TPG decided to embrace truly conservative grading standards? Would this result in added business and/or a change in market perception, or would it mean that worthwhile coins residing in their plastic would immediately be cracked out and sent to one of the top two? If McDonald&#039;s decided to charge Red Lobster prices for their fish sandwich, do you think it would be a successful move, or is it more likely they wouldn&#039;t sell?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
