Default Tpg?

Hey guys, I need some clarification. I am seeing occasional references to "TPG" on the forum. My understanding has always been than this referred to third party graders, but in a few of the discussions, it almost sounds like there is a company that will examine cards, and certify their authenticity, and that they have not been altered. Is there a company that does this, and does not grade, or is this a service offered by PSA, Beckett or SGC?

Bill, you were right..TPG stands for third party graders and they do just as you said...verify authenticity etc. You can ask any of them to not assign a grade if you'd like (there would seem to be few situations where this makes sense to me...but to each his own)
Kinda like, "I'd like to buy a vowel...gimme an A!"
