The &quot;Market&quot; does what the market is &quot;conditioned&quot; to do. That &quot;conditioning&quot; is done by the TPG&#039;s and others &quot;opinions&quot;. Namely, don&#039;t buy/bid on anything other than the Top TPG Slabs. The net result is that the non-Top Tiered slabs do not get any bids &quot;unless&quot; its a rare coin that is photographed well. Even then, folks (i.e. the &quot;Market&quot;) always &quot;mistrust&quot; the grade on the slab totally forgetting that grading is an opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is PCGS&#039;s &quot;opinion&quot; better than NGC&#039;s?</p><p>Is PCGS&#039;s &quot;opinion&quot; better&quot; than ANACS?</p><p><br /></p><p>What if a grader goes from ANACS to PCGS?
