<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vavet, post: 400816, member: 11630&quot;]The sixth edition of the ANA &quot;grading standards&quot; makes reference to changing standards. Now we must realize that the ANA is beholden to the TPG&#039;s and other dealers in a number of ways including the sale of their endorsement, so of course they will tread lightly in this area. However they do spell out at least one issue where the standards have changed, AND THEY SPECIFICALLY POINT OUT THAT THESE ARE NOT ANA STANDARDS BUT A REPORTING OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE MARKETPLACE which means that the ANA standards prior to the sixth edition no longer apply.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Didn&#039;t somone recently post that the reason for that DH letter to his comrades was in response to a change in ANA grading standards? That letter was dated 2 years after P was started, so what standards was P using the first two years, and if P was using their own standards, why even bother writing that letter to introduce their &quot;new&quot; standards. It doesn&#039;t add up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
