<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1446316, member: 37839"]Congrats on guessing the correct grade. That give you even expertise with the graders at PCGS and NGC? RIGHT? No, it means you were right on that one example and wrong on others, i am sure. I was wrong, and never pretend to be the best grader in the world, despite being an experienced hobbyist. That is exactly what most of us are--hobbyists. The folks at the TPG services are pros, whether you like it or not, and whether or not you use them. I am sure you and others are "talented hobbyists," but I'd trust my grading opinions to professionals who are objective third parties--despite the intimations of collusion and bias with TPGs, on the whole, they are more accurate than MOST collectors, as that is all they do for years and years. Do you make a living with coins? I do not, and as such will trust the professional over your opinion. Nothing personal, nor any insult intended--just the facts as I see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not too many dentists would do a root canal just to "make a few bucks for the kid's college fund." Most of them would do what is necessary as professionals in their field.
