Why do we need grading? Why do we need grading by a third party? Did we need grading two months ago? There has been discussion about a grading system since at least Campiglia/Wells offered a system in their Official Guide and a mention occasionally of CCGTCC coming up with general standard. There has been no real genuine interest by enough collectors to push this issue anywhere has there? Let’s say all the Treasure Bay 25c chips known had been graded and you went shopping for the best one. Pretty easy if they were all graded but if after you paid the best price for the best chip, the #2 best chip suddenly gets regraded to the top spot? If you don’t think that kind of abuse could happen, here’s your chance to say so.
