<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1434267, member: 36230&quot;]This is a highly debatable and risky assertion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nonsense. A coin is what it is, be it PL, DMPL, or POS and does not&nbsp; exist in purgatory until an almighty TPG bestows a designation upon it.&nbsp; TPGs are only an accepted service because the collecting community&nbsp; places faith in their opinions, and these opinions change. There are&nbsp; plenty of coins presently in DMPL (or DPL) holders that would not make&nbsp; it back the same today. In another thread you claimed to be batting .500&nbsp; on resubmissions, so how can this be if the TPGs are infallible?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Really? So the TPGs originated the terms, huh? </p><p><br /></p><p>So what if&nbsp; inexperienced or questionable sellers and some collectors misuse them?&nbsp; The same thing happens with grades.. always has, always will, and (right or wrong) is&nbsp; part of this hobby. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions just as there are plenty of advanced collectors/dealers&nbsp; who have the necessary skill to properly desigate coins, so the idea that&nbsp; &quot;only&quot; a TPG can give or legitimately use the term is utter nonsense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
