The graders name would remain anonymous in the event some type of legal assessment was being weighed. At least the collecting public could see a pattern if one were to emerge with a specific grader. It also adds a little credibility to the TPG. The thought is that if the TPG has to keep things transparent then having people accountable may actually produce a more "realistic" TPG that is actually not associated with "sales" or potential sales.

Kind of hard to believe there isn't something going on today with all the crap we've seen in the past few years.

Bottom line, there needs to be accountability in the TPGs.

I'm astonished this isn't already in place. Seems like the grader ID would be in place since Day 1
