[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 444579, member: 4626"]Ah, but therein lies the problem. There's nothing to prove or disprove because whatever grade the TPG assigns, it is just their [I][B]OPINION[/B][/I]. An opinion is purely subjective; there is no such thing as a right or wrong one. Why anybody is willing to treat grading as if any opinion is right or wrong, and that supposedly expert opinions are worth any more than anyone else's, boggles my mind. I say the TGPs' opinions are worthless, or at least worth no more than anyone else's. And don't give me the argument that they are experts because of how many coins they grade; the opinions of a film critic who sees hundreds of movies a year are no less subjective opinions than those of someone who only sees a handful. Seriously, put the TPGs out of business and end this nonsensical belief that any given coin has a right or wrong grade. It will get everyone out of the hobby that is ruining it, get the investors out, and leave it to the true collectors who collect coins for their own sake and can decide for themselves how valuable or desirable a given coin is. **** the TPGs! They provide absolutely nothing worth paying for and the hobby would be a lot better off without them.[/QUOTE]
