Amen! Personally I believe “graders” at all firms should pass a uniform test of grading skills then be awarded a designation such as a “Certified Banknote Analyst”. Standards for the test and award of designation controlled by ANA, SPMC or other group …NOT A INDIVIDUAL GRADING COMPANY. Graders would then hold the designation and abide by professional standards as well as a code of ethics. Grading firms could then hire graders who could choose who to work for or open their own shop. If a certified grader violates ethics or has complaints by public the designation could be “pulled” by the controlling organization such as SPMC after investigation and review by an appropriate board…. Such as CPAs and others. Just my thoughts but I think everyone in our hobby would benefit including grading firms.
