The PSA 3 here mentioned was an obvious error, as we're all human. But, for protection, resale value, I trust the tpg's for my cards unquestionably.

For the most part I agree with you Pete. But certainly not always. I absolutely will sell these as graded if they ever sell....but if I didn't buy raw I wouldn't have them. And we're not talking common T207 prices here...Cards can go up in value if they are raw too, btw.
