If you are planning to spend thousands of dollars on a card, either (1) you should be knowledgeable enough to evaluate it yourself before buying it or (2) have the expert opinion of a TPG that will stand behind its opinions. Since option #1 doesn't describe many of the high-dollar purchasers (either for lack of expertise or lack of time and ability to preview auction lots in person), that leaves option #2. The only TPG I know of at present that stands behind its work consistently is SGC. Bring them a "whoops" in their holder and they will make good. I just don't need a double-plus-good extra layer of experts investigating a prospective purchase provided that the TPG will stand behind its work.
