Each TPG Co has their own way of doing it...

They charge you a fee for the Pedigree and to holder all the notes.. This summer I am looking to have my collection Pedigreed..around 465 notes in all..

Contact them and ask..

PMG, PCGS are the two in order that I recommend.

thanks =) so in the pedigree box of the submission form you can just write your name or what you want to call your collection?

 

Well I am not sure..in the case for PMG.. I invited them to my home this August while at the ANA in Boston...when we go over the collection, I will ask about details on this.

Last I checked with PCGS a few years ago, they required completed sets in order to Pedigree..this may or may not have changed...just some fyi for you.

I would call and get the answer to your questions.

thanks for the info =)

 

hey cga just emailed me back an said i could pedigee them what ever i want for free just fill it in the submission form =)

 

CGA...oh brother

 

whats wrong with CGA, are they not reputable or are their standards lower?

 

just do a search online and on this site and you will see. i would recommend PCGS or PMG for currency grading.

 

A much discussed topic. Stay as far away from CGX as possible unless you want to reduce the value of your collection by 30% to 50%. Sure, you will get a decent price and a two week turn however the flip side is that you will not have graded notes by a TPG that is recognized as a legitimate (understatement) player.

 

Yes and yes.

 

Did someone say CGA ?? YUK

 

Ive got some ocean front property in Arizona if your interested?
That,s kind of the same thing with C.G.A, Who cares about a
Pedigree with these people

 

can you get your own pedigree with pcgs,pmg?

 

Yes they do and here is what Rickie said about it above.

 

I agree with much of the discussion. PMG and PCGS are the only two I would consider, IMHO. I believe that the added fee for the pedigree is to set up the registrey in the TPG site. I think that CGA doesn't charge because they will just add whatever verbiage you want to the holder and that's it. Don't quote me but I think that's the deal.
