<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1505479, member: 30574&quot;]No I do not disagree that those grade bumps exist and I don&#039;t like it.&nbsp; I have my ideas how we got there but none of that matters, just the fact that we are there.&nbsp; This is a sticky problem for CAC and there is a lot of room for argument on both sides of this one.&nbsp; I for one though, believe CAC is doing the right thing by going along with this aberration of the grading system. </p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it for one second.&nbsp; CAC could stand up to the fact, and except in rare cases when the coins are properly graded. decide to not sticker the coins you mention because technically speaking, they are not solid for the grade.&nbsp; That is one option, but who does this hurt, the TPG&#039;s or the collector&#039;s.&nbsp; It hurts the collector&#039;s.&nbsp; Now I am more of a type guy, so I don&#039;t see this much, but let&#039;s say I am looking for that &#039;93 S Morgan.&nbsp; This is a big buck coin, and this is where I would benefit from CAC the most.&nbsp; If CAC did not sticker these coins, they would be of no use to me at all, now would they.&nbsp; They would also start to get the reputation, &quot;they are Ok, but they are no help if you are looking for key dates&quot;.&nbsp; Also the other coins you mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it seems it is better to take the whole picture in consideration and to sticker these coins based on the scale they are graded on, even if that scale is inflated.&nbsp; This way, if I go for that &#039;93 S morgan in AU50 and it is stickered, at least I now it is solid when measured against all the other &#039;93 s Morgans in AU50.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now of course I would prefer to have the whole TPG thing straighted out, but I am not counting on that and JA has to deal with the cards he is dealt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
