The TPA's opinion of an autograph is almost useless to me when I am buying. I have never and will never rely on them as the most important thing. Is it nice to have? Sure why not, but I will never spend money on them for my own collection.
The TPAs certification is different matter when coming to selling. I agree that the way things are now, having a cert of some sort improves saleability and return. This is the unfortunate way of the world as far too many people only rely on the cert. I have sent things in for slabbing to various TPAs, but all were things I was about to sell. I have nothing in my personal collection that I sent in for approval. I have stated many times that I will get the approval of a TPA, whichever is considered the most likely to bring me profit, when, and only when, I am selling things. Doing it beforehand is a wasted opportunity, IMO, as you could spend all that money buying more autos that have the chance to appreciate.
