I'm sure they can too and I'm not calling on anyone to do anything. But if someone comes on here and asks for opinions, gets a thumbs up from a respected member, what should they do when/if they want to sell, especially when a TPA has proven to raise the selling price? One thing that TPAs provide is a transferable opinion, even if that opinion is sometimes wrong. (See also numerical card grading for the same thing).
I am all for peace of mind for collectors, and there are many great ways to get this outside of lazily paying a TPA. But many posts, like the one I quoted, don't take all perspectives into view.
