[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4233, member: 112"]Well join the club then pal ;) I have made it a personal campaign of mine for years now to bring about reforms within the grading industry. It's nothing formal really - just a quest I am on. In a nutshell - I would like to see all the grading companies follow one set grading standard that does not change. In addition I would like to also see all of the grading companies charge $1 extra for every submission. This one dollar would go to a special fund that would finance ongoing and permanent testing such as that conducted by Coin World. This testing would be performed by an entity who's sole purpose was to oversee the grading companies and ensure that they were indeed adhering to the grading standard. Each grading company would receive a seal of approval to place on their slabs. If however they stray from the path - this seal would not be given and it would be publicized that this particular grading company was no longer following the set standard. It wouldn't be long then and they would go out of business. If this was done - we wouldn't need computers to grade coins.[/QUOTE]
