<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1628911, member: 26302&quot;]A large amount, (I would say a majority but then again I am a jerk), of collectors cannot grade well.

The ones who made great lightbulbs went out of business since their lightbulbs never broke. Its only those manufacturers who intentionally made a product that will fail AND NEED REPLACING that stayed in business. Any TPG who graded properly every time to a external recognized grading source would eventually go out of business. They NEED to change their grading standards periodically to encourage resubmissions. Ignoring MS70 modern coins, there is a finite number of coins needing grading. So, they need to find a way to encourage those coins to get graded multiple times.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do my part to help them out, cracking open almost any slab I happen to buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
