This same exact bill has been graded by the following 3 TPGs. Purpose is not to grade the bill (its already been graded) but rather to get a sense of how YOU perceive the TPGs compare with each other in respect to their grading standards. You might be surprised (or not) :) The Game: COMPARE THE GRADERS. You have a 25% chance of selecting the correct answer. One of the 4x options IS the correct answer! Every option has at least one correct grade! Winner(s) get bragging rights only I will post the correct answer with pictures in 7 days Poll Choices BCS 63, CCCS 65, PMG 65 BCS 63, CCCS 64, PMG 66 BCS 64, CCCS 64, PMG 65 BCS 64, CCCS 65, PMG 67 Edited by upc239 06/13/2023 4:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

upc239 Valued Member Canada 135 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 2:07 pm And the answer is.... Option # 3 BCS 64, CCCS 64, PMG 65 !!! Congrats to the one person who got it. Interesting fact about this particular poll, in general, 1) Most of you thought that BCS graded this more conservatively than CCCS 2) And that the gap between BCS's grade and PMG's grade was by 4 grade points! (and I'm sure you have examples where there was such a gap). But not in this case. 1) BCS64 2) CCCS64 3) PMG65 Thanks again for everyone's participation in the poll! Report this Post to the Staff
upc239 Valued Member Canada 135 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 2:09 pm Typo above. Majority thought the gap between BCS & PMG was 3 grades (Moderators, I'm unable to edit post). Report this Post to the Staff
