<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7838591, member: 105098&quot;]I&#039;ve never used a TPG, and likely never will. I don&#039;t own a single slabbed coin, but may one day depending on what it is, but more for the assurance it&#039;s authentic and problem free than the grade it was given.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t really know what to think about the business itself. I&#039;d just say that the cost they charge you, it&#039;s for their &quot;opinion&quot;. you may agree or disagree with their opinion, in my opinion, but that&#039;s what you paid them for, to give you their opinion and nothing else.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t really been too much concerned about the business models or the practices or it&#039;s effect on the hobby once I came to this conclusion. Some people want their opinion, some people don&#039;t. Some people agree with their opinion, and some don&#039;t. it is what it is, an opinion. that&#039;s all.</p><p><br /></p><p>if you are selling a coin to someone they might say it&#039;s overgraded still, or someone might see value of a coin they think might be undergraded. it&#039;s all still speculative, everyone has an opinion also, just like they do. but I think it did &quot;Shrink&quot; the gap between a buyer and a seller, maybe take some of the uncertainty of fakes/problem coins out,&nbsp; and wiggle room out of a transaction of a coin between two parties.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say whenever you discuss a company negatively, you should be careful with what you say or how you say it, they have decent legal budgets, and have little problem in suing people for libel or slander, if untrue of course,&nbsp; that might damage their business. It&#039;s not worth that kind of hassle. Nothing wrong with telling the truth and voicing your displeasure with a business, just be sure of what you are talking about is all I&#039;m saying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
