Boy I guess !! That took some work ! And yet that amount of work is dwarfed by the time period your set covers - over 2,400 years ! Impressive !
Just use your fingers and forget the gloves.
It's not unusual for different TPGs to have directly opposite opinions on grade and or authenticity. In fact there have been many times that I...
