<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1505386, member: 112"]A lot ? Well that depends. I have stated quite clearly and plainly, not only in this thread but in many, many others, exactly what I think of CAC. It's pretty simple, I think as a general rule they do a pretty good job. And I have also stated quite plainly and clearly the problem that I have with CAC. That being that if the TPG gives a coin an unjustified grade bump, then CAC tends to go right along with them and put their sticker on that coin. In other words, CAC agrees with the TPG that the unjustified grade bump is valid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what do I call an unjustified grade bump ? I think everybody already knows the answer to that. It has been discussed as many times as CAC has been discussed. And every single person I can think of, even the biggest fans of the TPGs and CAC too, agrees that those unjustified grade bumps happen, that they are real and that are unjustified.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are they ?
