<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 8462936, member: 4920"]Well sure it was invented. Nobody <i>graded</i> that way, based on <i>market</i> factors. They asked more money. But that didn't change the <i>grade</i>, it changed the <i>price</i>. Market grading was ANA's half-assed attempt at synthesizing the <i>grade</i> with the <i>price </i>so the TPGs would have an easy go and not be inconvenienced with having to make the calls on the real grades. They've got room now to botch up, courtesy of the ANA. Tell them the coin isn't as pretty as they say, go ahead. Hard to hold them when it's half-assed standards like that. Tell them the provenance doesn't reflect the high status they just bumped-up the grade for. Tell them the cheek and jaw doesn't have separation, there you can hold a grader. But not these market graders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
