<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3194561, member: 66&quot;]Remember, when you submit to a TPG your aren&#039;t really paying for a grade, you are paying for an opinion.&nbsp; A professional opinion.&nbsp; The people who handle the unpacking of the shipments and entering the data from the submission forms into the computer are basically data entry, it isn&#039;t thier place to decide what should be graded and what shouldn&#039;t.&nbsp; So it isn&#039;t until it gets to the graders, the professionals, that it can be decided that a coin isn&#039;t worthy of grading.&nbsp; And who would make that decision?&nbsp; The professionals.&nbsp; So you now have that professional opinion you paid for.&nbsp; The service has been performed, payment has been earned.&nbsp; That was the same reason people were charged for bodybagged coins years ago.&nbsp; The professionals had examined the coins and rendered an opinion, payment was for services rendered.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was also why originally collectors couldn&#039;t do their own submissions and had to go through authorized dealers.&nbsp; The dealers were supposed to weed these &quot;unworthy&quot; submissions out so the collectors wouldn&#039;t be wasting their money (or the graders time) on them.&nbsp; But no the collectors insisted that they be allowed to do their own submissions.&nbsp; Well they got their wish and can now pay for making foolish submissions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
