<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 5294100, member: 84179&quot;]The TPG Apologist is at it again.&nbsp; It always seems that whenever any aspect of a certain grading company gets a negative post, you&#039;re right there to defend them.&nbsp; Sometimes its warranted, but sometimes your defense is ridiculous. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why do you think the software on CT gives out points and lists the Top 20 users in certain categories?&nbsp; The major TPG&nbsp; forum gives out all kinds of virtual awards, badges and stars to increase your points.&nbsp; Why? Because people are competitive by nature.&nbsp; The points system is a way to keep them interested.&nbsp; There are always going to be people who don&#039;t care about such nonsense, but you are going to have to provide some pretty compelling evidence that the people spending hundreds on PO-01 coins are just doing it for the enjoyment.&nbsp; IMO, the thrill of having a highly ranked set is driving the ridiculous prices for bottom feeder coins. I believe that the lowball registry is a place where people can compete without having the $$ to play the game at the upper end.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, collect what you like.&nbsp; No problems. But please, as you continue to defend your favorite TPG, think about how ridiculous some of your responses sound.&nbsp; The sad thing is that you provide a lot of good numismatic information on this forum, but it&#039;s my belief that junk posts like this undermine your credibility.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
