<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 32192, member: 824&quot;]Good points pcrdnadave.&nbsp; I am 6&#039;5&quot; and wear size 13.5 shoes.&nbsp; Now after size 12, shoe stores chuck the half sizes.&nbsp; I have to try a number of shoes on between 13 and 14 to get a pair that fits.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am glad shoes are not sold as petite, small, average, large, &quot;water skies&quot;, because there is too much room between one &quot;grade&quot; versus the other.&nbsp; Just like the octane levels when you buy gasoline...if I want 93 octance, that&#039;s what I want.&nbsp; If Amoco Premium measures out to only 92, then I am not happy.&nbsp; Market the gasoline anyway you want, I still am going to look at the octane levels first before I fill up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the Sheldon scale first came out in 1949.&nbsp; Let&#039;s see...PCGS didn&#039;t slab there first coin till 1986.&nbsp; NGC followed a year later.&nbsp; Nope, can&#039;t agree that the Sheldon Scale was attributed to those nasty &quot;slabbers&quot;.&nbsp; They just used a scale that made sense because grades were quantified instead of a subjective desciptive&nbsp; terms like:&nbsp; slightest, faint, sharp, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure we not agree with the graders, but chances are the TPG&#039;s grading is +/- one Sheldon point compared to something defined as Gem or Gem Plus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
