Since the inception of CACG, have other TPGs tightened their grading?

  I agree that grading is an opinion an opinion based on facts and the facts keep changing.

  The “facts” (condition) of the coins rarely change. But the assessments of their condition aren’t based on clearly defined, objective standards.

  Sometimes it seems as if they make it up as they go.

  That's a human condition. Something we all do.

  I have a number of CACG coins many witter brick that trade for a premium. But lots PCGS, NGC, plus some ICG, Anacs.

  If the coin was truly desirable, I’d require a discount and I’d then reholder any coin in a Witter Brick holder.

  WB coins bring premiums.

  I don't think so. Grading has been consistent from PCGS and NGC. I can't imaging PCGS having an executive meeting with all the graders to say "our business is at risk, now we need to grade harsh to compete with CACG!"

  There was and is plenty of room for PCGS and NGC to tighten up without grading harshly.

  Fill in any adjective you would like.

  Adverb

  Sorry, “adverb” is a noun.

  I know you're joking, but:
  "Fill in any ADVERB you would like."

  "Harshly" is an adverb not an adjective.

  Post a CACG coin or adverb from your collection to bring substance to this thread. Just kidding, keep your adverbs on the adverb forum.
