[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2941594, member: 76863"]This started thought because he said he doesn't care what the other labels say, in that regard it's impossible to separate out the who from the where they work. There almost certainly are graders there that have the knowledge and skill set to go to the first tiers and maybe not even miss a beat hitting the ground running, but his major and minor league analogy was fairly accurate. Regardless of their knowledge or skill set there is no question that the first tiers get the overwhelming majority of the rarities, the high values, do more volume, and very likely get more doctored/fakes trying to get slipped by them. They just simply aren't dealing with the same type of material day in and day out. In a lot of ways its like being the best hitter in Japan, that makes you better than 99 percent of the planet but they still need to prove they can do it at the top level. It's not their fault, but it's hard to ignore that a lot of the coins they deal with are lower value easier to grade coins.
