[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3073101, member: 112"]I think you misunderstand, at least when I do it. Ya see, when I point out that that a TPG has grossly over-graded a coin I'm not claiming that I am better than them at grading, nor am I saying that they can't grade. I'm not saying that they don't know how at all ! What I am saying is that they quite intentionally over-grade the coins, knowing full well that they are doing so, and do so for their company's own financial benefit. Some if not most of the graders at the TPGs, and I do mean all 4 of them, are some of the best graders on the the planet. But their individual knowledge and ability has nothing to do with the grades they assign. They assign the grades that they are TOLD to assign - knowing full well in their own minds that those grades are wrong. But, if they want to keep their jobs and their 6 figure salaries - they do what they are told to do. And there's a big difference between that and what you claimed above. A huge difference ![/QUOTE]
