Whats Up With Sgs?

pocket change put in plastic. if you have money you don't know what to do with and you want an SGS coin just send them your money and don't worry about getting the coin it is junk anyway. I warn all the ebayer newbies that bid on them I have been doing it for about 4 years now no one has reported me yet except that nimrod with the abon name lol go figure

gotta worry about another ebayer with the name "S"teves "G"ift "S"hop that sells SGS slabs also (who figures). He claims just because the first letters of his nick spells out SGS doesn't mean he is aboncom or the one behind the SGS grading company

whats a sgs?

LOL, do they really think they were doing you a disservice from banning you from their auctions?

they are just doing what other dealers have been doing for years, they have just taken it to the next level of crookedness. A dealer used to put a VF coin in a 2x2 and call it AU and unsuspecting collectors beleive the 2x2 because they couldn't grade, they are using the same techniques except they are going after the people that have grown to believe what the plastic says instead of the 2x2 and they are using the trust that real TPG companies have earned against new unsuspecting collectors who see it in a big plastic holder with a grade on it and automatically think that since the plastic says its that grade then it must be, not knowing they are just dealers putting in their own inventory in the plastic holders and they are the graders them self and not some other third party who has no interest in the coin what so ever. I am in no means saying I agree with their tactics and would love nothing more than to see them and all the other self slabbing companies go away but as long as people beleive the plastic and don't learn to grade they will always have customers willing to pay them high prices for what a veteran collector wouldn't carry around as a pocket piece

I would stick with PCGS, NGC, ICG, and ANACS. These are well established and professional grading companies.

thanks for info for the most part I haven't bought anything from any of these companies but I did get some cents that where graded but Littletons.

I like SEGS as well. Not everyone does, but I bought my SVDB in a SEGS holder. I authenticated it myself and graded it. I agreed with the grade and got it much cheaper than if I paid the extra $100+ for an NGC or PCGS holder. But I would never buy a SGS coin.
