Find a grade that YOU think looks good and stick too or close too it. You don't even need to keep that same grade, collect what is attractive to...
I'm not a paper collector, although I do have some, but I understand a little about them. In fact much of the things to look for are similar to...

Haha thanks to the both of you. I'm not even close to done. That's eventually gunna be a half sleeve, all Egyptian. Well, now I'm going to need...
