I don't understand why you list this as a con for both services. This is precisely what you are paying for. Why should the grading companies give you a discount if you send poor grade coins in the first place? You are paying for their opinion and sometimes it's not a favorable opinon (in the case of bodybags) but the opinion still costs the same. |
The TPGs are being paid to grade and slab the coin. If the grade is VF-Cleaned or XF-Rim Damage, then that should be on the holder so that present and future owners have a professional opinion on the condition. They have the hobby conned into accepting the bodybag practice to increase their profits.
But this is only my opinion, a distinctly minority one. It would be like paying for a real estate appraisal and getting back a letter saying that "An appraisal won't be provided due to the condition of the property, but we are keeping your fee."
