Perhaps this will be a useful demonstration of the difference between a low and high grade. This one is not a high grade... [ATTACH] This one is...
Well, I thought our little talk the other day would help, but I did it again. At that price, I just couldn't help myself. Not to mention that I...
Is that the sample slab they were giving out at the ANA this year? Knew I should have gone.
Is it just me, or are they essentially the same reverse?
