... yours or Ron's ... is completely unnecessary, Jim.

I'll make you the same offer I made to ICG -- let a group of collectors select 100 chips for you to grade (with explanations of the grades, as defined in your book) in a double blind test (that is, you'll grade them twice each without knowing the second time what the first grade was).

If you can match even Collectors Universe's meager standard of agreement 85% of the time (that is, give 85 of the 100 chips the same grade for the same reasons both times), I will withdraw my opposition to your system and become a public supporter.

What do you say? Should I start setting it up?

The ball is in your court. ----- jim o\-S
