That's the point, it cannot be mistaken for one. It is a label error only, not a mistake made by the graders. All such things are label errors....
Nope, you did not do anything wrong. It's just that sometimes some of our members, epsecially those who have not been here long - forget the rules.
Yeah I know. And I used to argue the point that the TPG's did not go through periods of tightening and lossening, that they held the line on...

Unfortunately the forum rules prohibit you doing what you did and they do consider you to be an advertiser if you make such posts in the regular...

Because - "This information is critical in establishing definitive pedigree information and authentication diagnostics for this rare issue,"
