<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2940440, member: 24314&quot;]You are throwing around a lot of claims and hearsay.&nbsp; Unfortunately, this kind of</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> generates a lot of &quot;action&quot; and opinion and I guess that is a good thing of CT.&nbsp; Care to let us know your how you learned all of this?&nbsp; Are you capable of disputing the opinions of highly-paid, experienced professional graders? </p><p><br /></p><p>mrjason71, posted: &quot;Yeah I bet its dipped too. <span style="color: #ff0000">Ok, based on what?</span> Thats the point. I think theres a ton of randomness in this. <span style="color: #ff0000">News Flash:&nbsp; Ever hear/read that grading is SUBJECTIVE?&nbsp; Do you want to take a guess at why this is so?&nbsp; Never mind, it&#039;s because there are too many variables coupled with uninformed collectors who never learned to grade!&nbsp; At least the professionals can usually get VERY CLOSE to agreement. That&#039;s why TPGS are necessary.&nbsp; Note, there are even services that watch them.&nbsp; </span>Im a skeptic/cynic at heart. <span style="color: #ff0000">Good, I am also. More like us is good for the hobby. </span>I&#039;ve heard they have deals with dealers who submit a ton and they get better grades and coins through that I couldnt get through, etc. <span style="color: #ff0000">Very interesting.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard that in a few days a big, fat guy is going to break into my house and leave stuff for my nephews.</span> <span style="color: #ff0000">Do I need to write another example of this nonsense?&nbsp; Now, human nature being what it is, has any underhanded stuff gone on at a TPGS.&nbsp; ABSOLUTELY!&nbsp; The government went after one of them a while back.&nbsp; If what you say goes on every day, we all would know about it and it would be very bad for TPGS business.</span> I dont think it would be THAT hard for a TPG to have integrity. Judge each coin on its own merit regardless of where it comes from or what batch its in, etc. Integrity = less revenue though. This sort of stuff and that sham lawsuit and on and on...just a big scam. They have so many proponents with skin in the game that I think it never becomes clear to the coin collecting public at large what a scam it really is. <span style="color: #b300b3">You know what, <b>YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION</b> and it only came after four pages.&nbsp; <b>I</b> don&#039;t <b>think</b> you should use the TPGS and <b>I do know</b> that very few people care.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span></p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;ve even got Insider <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> singing their praises now.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <span style="color: #ff0000">Actually, the tune you cannot hear is me whistling &quot;Dixie.&quot;</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
