Heritage Help! PCGS & NGC Populations Now In Title Line. How do I search by TPG?

If I search for NGC or PCGS I get all the auctions with their pops in the title line--regardless of the grading service. I've tried with the period after the grading service, but results are still wrong.

Has anyone solved this?

    No, I've had the same problem. key search for PCGS, but they have key worded everything by putting PCGS and NGC pop reports in the title. Had to spend several hours picking-out all the IGC, ANACS and other unwanted TPG service coins. I hope they get enough complaints that they stop doing this.image
  • Oooops! I was just about to do that search... Oh, well...

    Here's a link for reporting keyword spamming:Link

    Seller "rareland" is a major offender and, despite a number of complaints, Ebay has done nothing about them, while, at the same time, acting upon complaints about certain other sellers.

    Mark,
    This is in their own auctions... not e-bay!

    After playing with it for a bit, I don't think it's possible. What I'd do is email Heritage and ask THEM how to do it. They may realize what they did isn't real helpful. They could always change to using P and N for PCGS and NGC when listing the pop numbers, and that way it wouldn't affect searches.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
