TPG's are given submissions to grade cards objectively, based solely on the characteristics of the card. If they are playing politics to drive out their competitors that is outrageous.

All companies want customers to believe their products are the best, and many aggressively promote that idea. That's competition. The rough and tumble of the world of commerce, as some case I can't recall now puts it. Why do I have to help out my competitor?
