<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3959068, member: 26302&quot;]Whose &quot;standards&quot;? Not a third parties, nor the ANA&#039;s. TPGs have their own standards they profess, so by definition if they assign a grade it is &quot;correct&quot; because they can simply claim &quot;that is our &quot;standard&quot;&quot;. The absurdity is laughable if not so sad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, David Bowers, someone more respected in the hobby than any TPG owners, founders, or employee likely will ever be, has written extensively how even lower circulated coins like IHCs are dramatically overgraded by slabbers today.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is simply a large con job on a hobby, simple as that. I respect their opinion on authenticity, and would have used them if they would have simply applied ANA standards to their grading services. That is the original sin that led to the corruption we see today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
