    Well, today was my birthday and I did a lot of thinking. I have back problems, knee problems, smoke, don't exercise and don't eat right, but I usually feel pretty good, considering. I guess I am getting old and with reading about some young(er) people dying recently, I got to wondering how I would grade out if I sent myself to a TPG.:) I figured I would probably come back as an XF with an outside shot at AU. What do you think a TPG would grade you?

    AU58. Got a couple of dings that might hold me back from MS, but if you didn't look too close, you wouldn't notice. :)

    I'd go MS. Likely a 63. Couple of contact marks with booming luster and clean fields with some cool end roll toning.

    ;)

    Could come back "Questionable Color" though...:(

    Can I keep re-sumitting until I get the grade I like?

    I'd say vf details leg damage as I'm basically considered middle aged (hard to believe!!) the details grade due to my left ankle being pinned together and my right knee reconstructed with ligaments from a cadaver (old injuries from my younger days as an athlete) still despite the aches and pains I work about 80 hours a week doing physical work and keep in good shape so I'm a long way from worn out!!

    Anyone old enough to get a "Ghost of Lincoln" designation?

    To those of you who graded yourselves mint state . . . does that mean you're still in gestation?

    I figure if you've been born and already taken your first breath of polluted air, your first meal with preservatives, or heard your first cuss word, the best you can possibly be is AU58.

    As for me, I'm in my early 50's, balding, still look physically fit (looks only), can no longer run like the wind, get various aches & pains more frequently with every passing day, am beginning to experience problems with my teeth, and figure I'd luckily grade XF45 . . . with lots of hard work.
