<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 362155, member: 112&quot;]That&#039;s part of the problem spock - people &quot;think&quot; a lot of things, most of them untrue. They tend to base their &quot;thoughts&quot; on isolated incidents instead of looking at the larger picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are coins that are over-graded and coins that are under-graded. And as a result some people &quot;think&quot; this means the entire system is a waste. But when you actually examine the overall results what you find is that fully 95% or more of all the coins graded by the top TPG&#039;s are graded correctly. But of course people tend to forget or not even think about that because it is the few examples that stand out and get talked about - to death. </p><p><br /></p><p>And when it comes to resubmissions it would be my estimate that probably 97% - 98% of all resubmissions come back graded the very same as they were the first time they were submitted. Again, that gets ignored because it is more fun to talk about those that upgraded or downgraded. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s kind of like with people. A man can live 50 years of his life doing nothing but good and following the rules of society. But let something change in his life so that he commits a crime, maybe even a minor one. What is that man remebered for when he is gone ? 99.9% of the people who knbew that man will remember one thing and only one thing - the crime. All the good things he did for the previous 50 years will be ignored.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing with grading companies. Only the mistakes are remembered or talked about because people prefer to focus on the negative rather than the positive. It is human nature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
