<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3229244, member: 15309&quot;]There is no cycle, this is just more internet conspiracy theory from guys like you who feel slighted and financially damaged by PCGS&#039;s grading practices.&nbsp; Tell me genius, how would PCGS be able to offer a grade guarantee if they kept moving the goal posts with respect to their grading practices?&nbsp; It would seem to me that doing so would cause them a very serious legal problem.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t always agree with the grades assigned by the TPGs, and when I don&#039;t, I resubmit the coins for grading again, and often obtain a better grade.&nbsp; What I don&#039;t do is automatically assume that the TPG grade is WRONG simply because it differs from my grade.&nbsp; That is what you do!</p><p><br /></p><p>And it looks like we are making progress.&nbsp; So now your angst is that you are the little guy fighting against the big bad capitalist company.&nbsp; The TPGs don&#039;t hide the fact that they market grade coins and why would they be in business if they can&#039;t make a profit?&nbsp; Btw, what is the breakdown in revenue for PCGS.&nbsp; Specifically, what % of their revenue comes from resubmissions?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you actually think that you have proven that this &quot;line&quot; you refer to actually moves?&nbsp; They grade thousands upon thousands of coins and you cherrypick the ones that you disagree with and proceed to make a mountain out of a mole hill.&nbsp; In your own words, you said they get the grade correct about 95% of the time.&nbsp; Blaming the rest on subjectivity and mistakes seems pretty reasonable to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, the entire point of the PCGS Secure service was to use computers to digitally map coins so that if the same coin is submitted a second time that they can improve their consistency.&nbsp; Why would a company institute such a measure if their standard business model is to change their grading standards cyclically?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
