You may argue misrepresentation in that event. Sellers generally will argue that the pictures showing the TPG grade represent the coin, but the auction title is only their opinion of a re-submit outcome. I&#039;ve tested their arguments as an exercise, and they&#039;ve won.</p><p><br /></p><p>PL is a very vague term, where DMPL at least has some semblance of universal standards.
