Clearly an idiot cuz he's not selling it to the right people. Don't use eBay, you sell it direct to that casino that bought the toast and pancakes...
There is a market premium for the top two (right or wrong) - pcgs and ngc. Very slight premium if any for ANACS and ICG. The rest, at best, the...
I think I see some green cheese, not sure if theremis actually amcoin there or not...
Absolutely ... 1861 and 1871 are type 3s. This is type 1 (no leaves on thenreverse, no outlines on the star, etc.) BTW this isn't "not great"...

I have an INS too... also toned a bit brown. I think that's the colorfastness (not) of some Polaroid films. The plot gets more interesting......
