<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 8671941, member: 46237&quot;]This changes the grading scale to one more in line with other collectibles markets, however, it doesn&#039;t fix the problems with the grading scale. I think they&#039;ve actually made it <i>more</i> confusing to collectors from other markets, not less.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is the whole AU58-MS62 mess where an increase in numerical grade does not necessarily indicate an increase in quality and value. With NGCX grading, the same situation to an unfamiliar collector will appear to them to be a very familiar 8.8-9.2 increase in grade. They will <i>think</i> they understand this perfectly and will incorrectly assume that this indicates an increase in quality and price when that&#039;s frequently not the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>Admittedly, this is somewhat mitigated in that they are only applying it to moderns (for now). But as they are just changing the scale and not changing the grading steps, I don&#039;t see why they would keep this exclusively for moderns in the long run.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
