<p>[QUOTE="redflyer65, post: 29600, member: 1917"]Yea, I'm pretty new to the TPGers too, but this certainly looks fishy when you take a deeper look. Go through the feedback, page after page, and it's like any negative comment are buried in A+ responses from the same buyers again and again. I know, there buying multiple items and leave the exact same feedback for a whole page. Wow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another angle came up for me recently. I typically look at the modern coins in high mint or proof graded by the top TPGers. I came across a 1904 Double Eagle on ebay that got my interest, problem was it was graded by PCI. It took me a little while to research it, and it wasn't the graded they had that bothered me. I planned on crossing it over and taking the hit. But what concerned me was the authentisitcy of the coin itself. You know PCGS or NGC would sniff it out quickly. Then what do you have. Nothing. Oh, and the seller had a return policy, but it had to be returned as it was sent out (in the PCI slab). Sort of puts you in a rock and a hard place, like rolling the dice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
