On the subject of rainbows at TT

Who else here finds Teletrades wanton use of the Rainbow icon reckless and unwarranted for many items?
As a longtime buyer of bag toned Morgan dollars and toned type I used to be so happy to cruise through and click on all the rainbow icon toned dollars and find a fair amount to watch, some of which I would bid on before TT went a little wacky in a few respects. Now I consistently find that 9 out of 10 that I check are merely slight, not even fingernail width crescents or dusky/murky brown and grey envelope toned Morgans.
Case in point--For this Sundays upcoming auction I found 2 that I thoroughly thought "now we're talking" grade rainbow coins..Lots 2145 and 2153. I know a fair amount of it has to do with that it's a lot easier to find a rainbow 1883-O or 1885-O compared to say a 1921, but really!
I doubt, but hope that there are more dramatic rainbow toned Morgans in this auction, I don't know right now as I haven't done an extensive top to bottom check....We shall see as the weekend comes in.
Disclaimer--I have NO consignor interest in the above mentioned lots...this is not a BST thread....just an observation.

Chance favors the prepared mind.
