Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 729539, member: 6036"]Widespread agreement on that ! One thing to consider - we're all learning. Even the best say they're still learning. So their is no point at which "I've arrived" and "know how to grade". Grading skill is a continuum - a sliding scale. It's like being weaned. Originally, one starts off on Mama's Milk.  As one grows older, one can fend for themselves. Likewise, as one grows older and more experienced, the TPG grade means less and less; we need less and less support from the TPG opinion. The TPG grade makes it a little safer for newbies to reach the "jumping off point"; if one were expected to be an expert before buying anything, there would be no hobbyists.[/QUOTE]
