Message:: [QUOTE="RedSeals, post: 1556732, member: 38276"]I think that is perfect logic for sending anything off for grading, but High value is relative.  Also, the encapsulation/protection and re-sale factors are all very important to me. Take the France 95b I posted on new acquisitions.  I picked that up for about $125, I believe SCWPM has it in UNC for $350.  $350 is high value to me - it would be my most valuable world note.  I did see one in a PMG 66 EPQ holder sell for $250+shipping on eBay (from a Korean Seller) not too long ago as an example of market price. That example is a very fragile thin paper note, and it has no pinholes, natural paper wave, and not doctored in my opinion which any French note collectors will tell you is very tough to find from that era.A PQ rating here comes in huge IMO.  Scottishmoney - you stated when I posted the Bank of England 1945 Five Pound note that many of these have been worked on - if that comes back a High VF, or even XF without any "cleaned" or "pressed" comments for around a $200 value (I paid $100) that's worth sending off for grading to me. Although I really do appreciate the opinions - the purpose of my post wasn't to inquire to have notes graded or not - it was to solicit peoples opinion on which TPG has the best reputation in world paper money. There are plenty of people like me who want to continue buying $100-$200 pieces raw and send them for grading, and those who would like to buy the graded notes.[/QUOTE]
