I know about ANACS, PCGS, and NGC.

What about SCS?

Also what are ones that are not 'the greatest?'

ANACS, PCGS and NGC. Also consider ICG and SEGS situationally.

Nothing else is a real TPG. Nothing.

Nothing else is a real AMERICAN TPG

There is ICCS and CCCS that are both good Canadian TPG's

CCCS is owned by the Charlton people, isn't it? If so, I would put a lot of trust in them. Not that I don't trust PCGS and the others, just sayin'.
Rest in Peace

Every thing else beyond the TPG's already mentioned are just a large plastic airtite with some one's jibberish on it. Pay no attention to the verbiage on the label and judge the coin inside by appearance only.

The same could be said of the top tier slabs as well.

SGS is by far the # grading company. They are always accurate and never over grade I can't even say it without laughing.

Of course, the information on the (top tier graded) slab is an opinion to consider (but not completely rely on).
