<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1916D10C, post: 3256783, member: 97585&quot;]It is their business model, and also their own claims that they &quot;verify a coin is solid for the grade&quot;, which is a complete joke. If PCGS and NGC cannot maintain enough consistency with their grading and standards to satisfy collectors, to the extent that now the TPG&#039;s need their grades verified by some other company or person, what is to stop another service from coming along to verify their grades, and so on and so on?? Are we going to get to a point in the hobby where slabs are so covered in &quot;verification stickers&quot; of other companies to such a degree that we can no longer even view the coin inside the holder anymore? How many more services do collectors need to shortcut the hobby and avoid learning on their own?? How many more services are needed so collectors don&#039;t have to select coins or make decisions for themselves based on their own tastes, but instead, solely rely on and trust the &quot;experts&quot; to do it for them?</p><p><br /></p><p>ETA: Don&#039;t get me wrong, I&#039;m not saying for one minute I know more than JA or he doesn&#039;t know his stuff; to say so would be extremely presumptuous. All I&#039;m saying is Jason&#039;s assessment is spot on as far as what they are doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
