<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IBetASilverDollar, post: 3756876, member: 85251&quot;]The &quot;first glance&quot; part is a little subjective criteria but I know what you mean I value the first glance a lot with MS65 and up not because I expect them to have no marks but I don&#039;t want any of the marks to be distracting and the first glance usually tests that factor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also it&#039;s not a matter of supporting grade-flation.&nbsp; It&#039;s a matter of knowing how the TPGs grade and making decisions based on that.&nbsp; If you are consistently a grade lower than the TPGs then the TPGs are being consistent you just have a different standard and that&#039;s fine.&nbsp; $10 libs come to mind since it&#039;s one of my favorite series.&nbsp; People who don&#039;t know how they grade $10 libs will always be a point low guessing because of contact marks.&nbsp; The TPGs are to me incredibly consistent however with this series.&nbsp; So while I don&#039;t support the way they grade them (and in my experience it&#039;s not even grade-flation with $10 libs I&#039;ve owned multiple OGHs) and think they&#039;re too lenient with contact marks - they&#039;re consistent and I can make decisions from pictures based on what I know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
