<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 179532, member: 2100&quot;]I would not have a problem with a tpg charging full price if full service was rendered as well. I think it very reasonable to request that one should receive what is paid for. I believe that anything submitted should end up in a slab, with the appropriate problem(s) if any, noted on the label. Let the tpg(s) create a different style/color of holder if need be to distinguish problem vs. problem free coins, but at least the submittor will have some evidence that the item is genuine or not, and any future purchaser may consider the impact of any noted problems when determining the value of the piece. I think this would benefit the hobby as counterfeits would also be slabbed. While fakes may be broken out for fraudulent purposes, any that remained in those slabs would no longer be passed off as genuine or possibly genuine, thus helping to clean up the hobby a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>That could also prevent the submittor selling the body bagged coin as raw, and then having a series of subsequent owners repeatedly submitting the problem coin again, only to receive another body bag (or maybe not). I believe that happens now with some coins, and only serves to transfer money from collector&#039;s wallets to the greedy tpg&#039;s fingers. I think it would be helpful to (honest) sellers to have a tpg slab each coin and at least have the authenticity verified (or not). But since such a practice would reduce resubmissions, and hence their bottom line, I doubt anything resembling my suggestion would ever occur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
