Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 2442848, member: 22331"]LOL I believe this is a subject upon which we could intensively debate, but probably the exercise would be futile. The crux of the problem in the Numismatic "Industry" is as I believe will be someday shown, without an industry "standard". The "standard" is based on an industry seemingly without a minimal semblance of required accreditation. The individual firms state titles and grades based on subjective standards, which can be shown to be inconsistently applied. If you objectively review the PCI case, and you've broad experience in this industry you'll probably be amazed at the proceedings. Maybe wonder how firms/individuals without published standards supporting their arguments can be the decisive basis for damages. In my state we've had to initiate unique statutes for successful interstate prosecution of outstate firms in the Federal courts. Several of these prominent firms still believe they're immune, and continue their efforts of violation. The wheels of Justice slowly turn, and it's believed that retribution will be earned. I BELIEVE, heretofore stated, as was the final decision in the PCI action, that until precedents and uniform legislation is implemented, uninformed Jurists may use the established "standards" of each firm to determine culpability. Your beliefs may be more accurate than mine, but only time will tell. JMHO[/QUOTE]
