[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 921542, member: 112"]You do realize that a large number of people believe that the TPGs do not grade coins, they price them. And there is never going to be a time when the blanks are filled in. That is because prices are largely based on a coin's availability in a given grade. So if there are a thousand examples known in 64 and only 20 in 65 then you can bet there is going to be a large price jump between the two. There is no way you could add enough grades to make up that differential. The point you are missing here is that there is more to it than just knowing how to grade coins. You also have to know the market. Now there are many people that know how to grade, and there are many people that know the market. But there are few people that know how to grade [B]and[/B] know the market.[/QUOTE]
