<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2943858, member: 71723&quot;]1) I&#039;m just saying MOST people who disdain modern TPG grading ARE running a Buy Low / Sell High grading scam. Good to hear that&#039;s not your motivation.</p><p>2a) You STILL have to know how to grade.</p><p>2b) If you collect NOT having that skill, you deserve the butt-kicking you WILL receive.</p><p>2c) PART of knowing how to grade is knowing how to grade coins TODAY, not 25-30 years ago.</p><p>3) The NEXT time I am positively affected by an environmental argument angle will be the very FIRST time.</p><p><br /></p><p>My ANA diploma, with High Honors, for my first grading course was called &quot;Grading Coins Today&quot;. Do you REALLY think that last word was just a random throw-away word? Did it fall onto the diploma at random? No. All words mean things. The use of the word &quot;Today&quot; clearly connotes that something has changed, and they are PROUD of that change. As am I.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, that diploma is 1997 vintage. At the course I took from Brian Silliman last March, MORE stuff changed, too. And they&#039;re proud of THOSE changes, too. As. Am. I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
