<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1363779, member: 112&quot;]Guy this sentence is about the only thing I&#039;d disagree with. TPGs were the last ones to get to the game. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even back in the 1800&#039;s people were clamoring about the need to grade your coins, about having a set of grading standards, and the grades to be used. This happened even more so in the early 1900&#039;s. By 1949, Sheldon write his book. By 1958, Brown and Dunn wrote theirs. By 1972, ANACS existed. PCGS and NGC didn&#039;t even come along until 1986 &amp; &#039;87. The TPGs did nothing more than fill a need that collectors demanded be filled.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll agree with you that TPG&#039;s have allowed collectors to become lazy and dependent on the TPGs. But that&#039;s not the fault of the TPGs. It&#039;s the collectors who bear the blame for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
