Bman, have your checked the auction prices realized at pcgs? eBay? Heritage? Look I don't like to be blunt and maybe I just had a long day but...
I'm thinking 45 ish.
65ish
before seeing the slab photo.. I thought 64. the "luster photos" helped. very nice looking cwt.
I'm terrible at grading from photos. WAG 64.
