<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8421116, member: 105098"]But, you can evaluate a coin in the holder and determine if it's up to your standards or not for the grade they gave it. TPG grading is just a third party opinion. I don't know who at PCGS or NGC grades coins or which individual grades my coins, and if they have a hangover 5 days a week or not? LOL I won't trust unnamed people blindly. I can determine if I want to buy a slabbed coin or not just as well as anyone else, and I know me and trust my opinion. For all I know they pick up some guys at home depot in the morning on the way into work. hahaha</p><p><br /></p><p>if CAC or MAC wants to charge for their opinion on a coin also after a TPG does their opinion, with a sticker, sure go ahead, more power to ya! Only reason MAC does what it does is because CAC won't do moderns so it leaves an opportunity open for someone else to do it. </p><p><br /></p><p>it's a business they provide a service, if you don't like the service, or see a need for it, don't use it. But I have no idea what the point is on bashing a legitimate business for giving people what they want, they are selling reassurance.
