<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 728826, member: 2972&quot;]I found myself nodding my head in your very well-articulated post.&nbsp; However, this one comment did throw me a bit...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>At least for me, personally, I found learning to grade in mint state FAR easier than circulated grades.&nbsp; For one, there are less grading levels to be concerned with.&nbsp; For another, there are no wear patterns to memorize.&nbsp; While there are certainly nuances to the upper grades when it comes to eye appeal and other more subtle points, mint state grades have always been easier for me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, I can grade just about any series mint state -- even in series that I&#039;m not very familiar with -- but I fail miserably in circulated grades in those same unfamiliar series.</p><p><br /></p><p>But maybe that&#039;s just me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks again for the great post...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
