I wish TPGs weren't necessary, and I would prefer they didn't exist. However, dishonesty in the hobby made the rise of TPGs inevitable. Who among us didn't buy a "NM" card from a listing in Tuff Stuff or SCD only to get a card in the mail that was EX at best?? Collectors got tired of being burned. True, there are shenanigans with grading, but I can buy a graded card on ebay for a set I am working on and have a pretty good idea of what I am getting. This is tough for me to say/admit, but it is true.
