<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1982143, member: 37839&quot;]I disagree.&nbsp; It was like the wild west, with &quot;suppositional&quot; grades expressed exclusively in words, without a mathematical rubric.&nbsp; Most of the coins were MS when one bought them, and then AU when one went to resell them.&nbsp; There was far less organization and standardization.&nbsp; I know it is extremely fashionable to trash numerical grading, and TPGs, as being evil, but I just don&#039;t buy into that logic.&nbsp; Following the Sheldon scale, and having a third party to vindicate that numerical assessment is a huge improvement.&nbsp; Do TPGs make mistakes?&nbsp; Of course they do, but the standardized assessment has reduced a lot of risk in the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
