Big daddy, more excellent advice!
Speedy, I am confident it will be graded upon resubmission. The fingerprints are now gone : ) I gave it a quick dip in diluted dip, and then...

Hi adam, I'm afraid that I can't offer a grade opinion based on the scans, as I can't see all the detail that well. They are at a minimum high AU...
