| Other TPGs
Just for people who may be new to this. In addition to the top 4 there are some decent TPG's. I've had good results with SEGs for instance. However, many, if not most, of the other slabbers on Ebay are worse than incompetent.
They are actually owned by dealers in many cases and are used to boost the selling value on Ebay and are financialy motivated to fluff up the grade. AU's and even XF's are graded MS something. I once bought a MS66 slabbed Seated Liberty Half that looked ok in the picture but when I got the coin it was clearly improperly cleaned. On Ebay the rule should be buy the picture (even this isn't always safe...photo wizardry) and RUN from the slab.
