Yes Tom, I am very well aware of everything you wrote. I have read the ANA guide, all of the editions, many times, cover to cover. And I have...
I'm not gonna sidetrack this now, start another thread on the subject if you want. But I don't think you understand what market grading is. In...
In other words I did not make an argument for it being a 64 - but - I can see and understand where somebody else might because of the marks....
Read my posts again tmoney.
Howdy usc - Welcome to the Forum !! You should be very concerned. There are so many counterfeits in the marketplace that it boggles the mind....
Thought I was gonna have to get a stick and beat you there for a minute raider :D
The first one has absolutely been mounted as jewelry but appears to be genuine. The second, as mentioned, is either a ground find or a cast...
65 at best, and there is an argument for 64. This is the point that Mark was making, the subjectivity aspect on deciding what is major and what is...

If it wasn't for the compliments thrown into the mix - I'd have to getcha for that Charmy ! :D
Yes it is specifically adressed. It says quite plainly - no major marks. That means not even 1. To a point I disagree Mark. I say to a point...
Howdy Jason - to be onest I have no idea how to find the value of something like that. You can try and post the question in the What's It Worth...
And I have no doubt that it will. And if offered in the right venue, perhaps a fair of some note, it might even bring more ;)
Perhaps, but I hope I'm right and you're wrong. People always accuse me of being a pessimist. Well, this is one occasion where I am an optimist ;)
I'm going to have to be the contrary one again I guess. All three of these comments indicate to me what I see as the problem with grading - people...
Not for years, but always like the game. In fact I haven't played at all in years. My cue case has so much dust on it thta it might take a while...
