[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1502312, member: 26302"]Don't you believe that is a huge achiles heel Paul? That is one of my primary objections to TPG grading. I have been around this hobby long enough to see how tastes change. Not picking on toning, but just say toning goes out of style, and we return to where we were where white coins were the preferred surface color. If that happened, (just saying if), then this coin is VASTLY overgraded. But, since there is no mechanism for TPG to recall such coins, now we have millions of more overgraded coins on the marketplace. If you are going to encapsulate and grade, then at a bare minimum the grade should be the technical grade, and let the market adjust prices based on current trends, desires, and wants. To incorporate what is desired TODAY into a grade simply guarantees millions of overgraded coins in the future. :([/QUOTE]
