[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3516113, member: 76863"]No very few people care about a "purely technical" grade which is a fallacy anyway as the "technical" aspects are subjective as well. Some collecting elders want it to be like back in the day, the market does not and it's easy to see the direction that will continue to happen fixing the old broken system. A misunderstanding of market grading is the biggest issue from people upset. Technical aspects are still taken into account, coins are still graded, grading has evolved. Incorrect information has given people a warped view of what it really is as the people who believed it were loud and insistent and people started to buy it.
