And yes that includes the standards used by NGC, PCGS, ANACS and ICG. Too some degree, even the ANA grading standards have changed recently and they changed rather dramatically some years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why many who have been collecting for 30, 40 even 50 yrs don&#039;t have much confidence in the grading companies for they learned how to grade under a different set of standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>But once you learn how to grade by all of the standards - old and new alike - then you will always know exactly what you are buying. That&#039;s why in my opinion it is so important to keep up with the grading standards being used in the marketplace today. And it is just as important to learn those standards that will be used tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>At least until collectors everywhere get sick of the idea and DEMAND an unchanging &amp; universal set of grading standards - for everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
