<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2321357, member: 1892&quot;]Doug&#039;s underlying point stands, that the arena has a ton more players in it than just TPG grading standards with a direct connection to pricing. I just see a normal price progression factoring inflation and a slow but steady increase in the amount of money in numismatics (if not the number of collectors), meanwhile the TPG&#039;s lurch around drunkenly with their standards due to factors not necessarily having anything to do with what people are paying for coins on the street. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m seeing here is poor control of their internal environment over the long term, allowing themselves to be led by the nose by market conditions or maybe just plain overwhelmed by the conflicting standards of quality and profitability and not gettin&#039; it done. I feel very strongly the need here to apply the standard of &quot;never ascribe to malice than which can be adequately explained by stupidity.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
