I do not want to split hairs here but I might have to. Does cleaning scratches off of your slab count as altering it, or the reverse scratching...
I can understand the discouraging aspects of this hobby and most of us have been through several. Dealing with grumpy people can be easily...
Torn on 64, that hit on Lincoln's nose is pretty bad unless that's on the case? Also, the reverse stalks have some dings. Last question is the the...
I only buy red treasure box's, sigh, I guess the hunt still goes on.
