PMG Screw-Up Again!

For those of you who think I am a "slab-hater", you are Wrong, but not
by MUCH. I do, however, find it amusing when PROFESSIONAL GRADING
SERVICES dont know the difference between a T41 and a T56. I mean,
after all, doesnt PROFESSIONAL kinda sorta say something??? See, NO
Ranting or Raving this time. Please just take a look:

I would guess that the person who sent it to be slabbed called it a type 56
on the form and the slabber just copied it.

Which goes to prove that Monkeys can grade paper! Surely they have
reference books to verify the type of note they are slabbing. What a
joke! This is almost as bad as their slabbing the replica sheet as
Genuine, in my opinion.
One of the first things a new collector should do is get some kind of
knowledge of how to grade paper. Anyone can do it, if they take a
little time and have good lighting and good eyes.

I hate to see obsoletes slabbed in general. It is giving some people the
idea that common-as-dirt unc remainders are worth stupid money.
Unfortunately, I think it is here to stay.
