<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rick, post: 60497, member: 1235&quot;]there was an interestin article in this last issue of the numismatist where a fellow discussed third party graders, however I was unsure, from the article, whether he purchased from a bottom tier TPG or whether he purchased over graded raw coins which were rejected as cleaned by the top tier TPGs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Unfortunately, those people that receive the magazine are probably already aware of the problems (such as these).&nbsp; I guess it&#039;s the new and independant collectors that stand to get hurt the most - the ones that don&#039;t network with other collectors and learn from others in the hobby.&nbsp; I have been collecting for many years, but it wasn&#039;t until a year or maybe a year and a half or so, when I started getting to know others in the hobby, that I really learned about these risks...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ebay is the toughest market for these problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
