[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1066616, member: 27043"]I certainly do not mean to cause offense, or attack anyone...but...why? I mean, let's be honest here. Your arguments are that "anyone who's talked to them" knows this, and that you're critical of them. While the latter seems certainly to be true (from what I've read anyway), it's hardly "evidence" of anything...and the former is nothing more than exaggerated opinion. Meanwhile, there are, by definition, SOME TPGs who assign grades well above what a coin does, and do it strictly for profit...they even advertise the fact, by saying they "specialize in MS70's!" or what have you. And, clearly, ALL TPGs charge for their services, all seek to be profitable concerns. Certainly I'm not going to say grades are for sale at every TPG. I have no evidence of that nor, to be honest, do I wish to waste my time, effort, and money gathering any. But since it's established fact that SOME do, beyond "The idea is ludicrous because I say so" what indication do we have that any particular one doesn't?[/QUOTE]
