[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2564592, member: 26302"]I agree. Their business model, though, kind of demands it. Short of modern ASE's and the like, there is a finite population of coins to be slabbed. Once they are all affectively slabbed, what will drive volume? Lowering grading parameters. You get more crackouts if now you have the possibility of a bump in the grade. Once this has gone on for a period of time, someone will want to reset the whole thing with a new, "harsher" grading scale and all coins will all have to come back again to get the new slab and grade. To say their grades will be perfect and unchangeable is effectively dooming the business model. However, they could never ADMIT this, because that ALSO would doom their business model. Hate to be a cynic, but the old truism "follow the money" is still very much true.[/QUOTE]
