Message:: [QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 3528261, member: 73995"][USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] I can read your posts just fine and happy that you aren't falling into the young'ins hype about doing things their way. It's your process not theirs. Seems to me that the value/market grading system used today cannot have a bound set of rules.  Seems that grading today is more about imbalance than it is stability. It is not surprising to see this especially with traded company's.  The way coins are graded is more or less their personal "Trade Secrets". Updating their standards would/could even the playing field. The problem is that the TPG's do not want to be held to standards. Standards do not pay the bills, they do not invoke resubmission. And by far it does not help those of us who just want an honestly graded coin. A graded coin that is supposed to be subject to the written standards of said company. This seems to be more of a fight about honestly graded coins VS getting top $ for  a coin. Those who just want a coin in a slab to protect it so that their heirs can liquidate it in the future. And someone who is looking for a quick profit. For a quick profit I am going to go to the company that over grades, the one that has the buyers in their pocket. The sad thing is those company's that do grade closer to the Sheldon scale never get the $ in the end. It truly is a battle with in yourself to choose between the strict TPG, the $ TPG, and the cabinet. I see no difference in the way you need to respond, and if so you need to find a shoulder to wipe your tears. Because you don't like his way of posting, you bash who he is as a professional in the business? It's sad that you would stoop so low.[/QUOTE]
