[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 24713765, member: 36248"]Good guess, as you are exactly correct. (I suspect you already knew that) ;) NGC has said as much themselves. I can understand why people don't like this from a historical perspective, I don't want this 10 grading scale on my slabs either, but the reality is most other collectibles, some of which are much more popular than coins, use the 10-is-perfect scale.
