<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 990393, member: 21782&quot;]A perfect storm, huh, is that what they told you?&nbsp; Well, you&#039;re correct about the basement based telemarketers selling &quot;rare&quot; ms65 Morgans at inflated prices.&nbsp; Yet, when the market was saturated (the pyramid was built or the bubble was at the bursting point), the first signs of the crash were the dealers wouldn&#039;t admit they sold them at inflated prices, they claimed the grading standards had tightened, thus your 65&#039;s were now 64&#039;s.&nbsp; Kinda sounds like that has everything to do with condition rarity.&nbsp; As I remember this hit the market so hard, it caused declines in the entire coin market.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for how it affected the TPG&#039;ers, I&#039;d have to research that.&nbsp; When did pcgs start the green label with the conservatively graded coins?&nbsp; It appears the TPG&#039;ers are more concerned with short term profit than long term survival - look at how they&#039;re &quot;bending over&quot; these days for the latest telemarketers on cable.&nbsp; So, since they&#039;re controlled by the big dealers, when they need a scapegoat, oh darn, the grading standards tightened again.&nbsp; Maybe after surviving the 1980&#039;s they think they&#039;re invincible.&nbsp; Or maybe their profits are going offshore, so when the lawsuits start, they’ll go “belly up” and their guarantees will be worthless - AKA, a Camen Island retirement plan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
