<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 793071, member: 6986&quot;]You continue to miss the point.&nbsp; The anti-TPG crowd here has indicated that they would not buy a note without seeing it in person.&nbsp; If TPG gives you the confidence to do so, good for you.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The post about the PMG note with the corner ding is problematic for your position, however.&nbsp; The TPG service can only give you their opinion at the time they graded the note.&nbsp; If it is dropped or otherwise mishandled, there may be damage that makes the grade on the holder meaningless.&nbsp; You are not going to be able to tell that from a scan unless it is really obvious.&nbsp; This is particularly true where it is difficult to tell the difference between graded notes at the high end of the TPG scale.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never said that the database is proof of authenticity.&nbsp; Of course, those notes could be copied.&nbsp; If you actually read my post, you would have seen that I acknowledged that.&nbsp; I also never said that a note that is not in the database is not authentic.&nbsp; You jumped to that conclusion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The MPC database is available to anyone who registers at <a href="http://www.papermoneyworld.net" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.papermoneyworld.net" rel="nofollow">www.papermoneyworld.net</a>.&nbsp; The information in the database is only has good as the people who are using it.&nbsp; Since anyone who registers can post to it, a bad seed could cause trouble.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
