[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1362076, member: 19065"]Just some thoughts. Consider that when talking to HA that their company may have a contract to use one TPG rather than the other for a better negotiated service rate, which informs their choice of TPG. Other than that, this topic comes up with some frequency regarding paper grading, just as it does with coin collectors. You can dig back in older CT threads to see the discussion.
