<p>[QUOTE="Phil's Coins, post: 8159004, member: 112104"]I basically stay away from auction houses, I do not like the ridiculous fees they charge and I have yet to find one that will GUARANTEE YOUR COIN TO BE AUTHENTIC or can be sent to a TPG and graded at the grade they state. </p><p>Unless and until WE (CT participants) expose those that are selling fakes by CALLING THEM OUT, we should not complain.

It will not get better if we do not.
