Message:: [QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3974113, member: 59737"]You're assuming that TPGs make people lazy, as if lazy people didn't exist before the TPGs. What did lazy people do before TPGs? Trust a dealer's hand written grade. Why? Because dealers knew more about coins than they did. Those lazy people still existed and back then you blamed them for their laziness. Now that TPGs exist, you've somehow justified projecting the guilt onto the TPGs. Why aren't you still pointing the finger at the lazy collector? For people like yourself,  who aren't lazy, the TPGs have changed nothing. You still buy coins based on how they look, not what a dealer or TPG says. Those who would've just bought what a dealer told them now just buy what a slab says. TPGs don't make anyone do anything. Laziness is a choice. It was a choice before the TPGs, and it's still a choice after. The fact that you think people will default to lazy and not do it is indicative of your own personal bias against other people and future generations. The lazy people are still lazy, and the people who care still bother to learn to grade. Status quo again. Stop blaming TPGs for people being lazy; blame the lazy people and the liars.[/QUOTE]
