[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 8508443, member: 78719"]OK, I am a collector and not a dealer who does use but does not always like the major TPG services. At the Baltimore 12 weeks ago, I left "orders" with both of the major TPGs. One of course has not yet graded the coins even though they were on a higher tier.

That sounded a bit crazy as the coin was pristine when removed from the original TPG and carefully sent to them sans ANY toning, accretions, etc. [COLOR=#ff4d4d]edited[/COLOR] me popped for the extra charge.....Well, lo and behold, they "conserved it" and now grades 70 Deep cameo.
