And people scoff at me when I say people are hyping the toning fad too far as of late...
It shouldn’t straight-grade with those obverse scratches. I’m at G/VG, nowhere near F-15.

At least you have $$$$$, while most of us have only $$ or $$$. ;)

I did address it by addressing the bias from the eye appeal component. Surfaces 40%: 65x0.4=26 Luster 20%: 67x0.2=13.4 Strike 20%: 66x0.2=13.2 =...
