<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 572508, member: 4920"]Nothing much interesting going on right now, there's a lull in the joint, so I thought I might just try and answer this question, and hopefully we might create some controversy in the process, and liven things up some. The way I see that issue is like this. If you'll grab yourself an old Redbook (go back to about the '60s), you'll see how the ANA has always regarded strike. Specimens that are strongly/weakly struck will command higher/lower prices, respectively. It's the TPGs, however, who are taking a strong strike for a particular year/mint, for example, and kicking up the resultant "market grade" for it. The reason? There's a market for that. As such, the TPGs will grade these freak strikes up or down, depending, because they're grading for the market. That's what I think. Thank you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
