    Thanks for sharing your example. I can see it as an F15 or so as well. The woodie effect is pretty sweet too. My PCGS F15 is a woodie too!!

    Thanks for the nice comments :) It was really fun to put the set together and to learn alot about grading in the process, but it's even more fun to be able to share it with others.

    Long time, Illini240!

    I've been patiently waiting to buy the 1908 grading poster you were talking about a while back...is that still in the works?

    Thanks!!!!! I appreciate that!

    Yeah, sorry about making you and everyone else wait!! It got put on the side burner last summer as I was trying to figure out the best way to get it printed up... then I was going back and forth trying to figure out which background color was best. I think i'm now pretty settled on a medium-dark blue which really complements the color of the copper.

    But to get them printed up in a small batch of a dozen or two copies would cost around $15-$20 per print... I'd gladly pay that for my copy or two, but that's just too much to ask of others. I found a place where I could get them printed up in 24" x 36" and it would only cost around $2 per print... but I'd have to order a minimum of 500 posters. add the cost of a mailing tube and postage and I could probably get them out to people for around $5-$6 each... or 3 copies shipped for $10 so people could give out extras to collector friends. I think that would be much more reasonable, but 500 copies is quite a lot!!! I'll try to figure it out soon as it's something I want to get done!!
