<p>[QUOTE="rickmp, post: 1486977, member: 28047"]The TPG's don't charge extra for "Early Release", "First Release", "Early Strike", etc. labels. They are not making money on the labels, per se. They are making money because their customers demand those labels and they may be grading more coins because of that offering. Those labels don't have anything to do with what grade the coin is given. Only in the after-market do those labels add (real or perceived) value. There is really no reason to distrust the TPG's because of the offer of those labels. There might be other reasons to distrust them, though, but I'm not going to go there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm guilty of wanting those labels because they <u><b>do</b></u> increase the money I can get when I sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
