Agree with the first thought. But I still have an issue with the idea about variety collecting. I know it is an established part of the field,...
When I discovered a treasure trove of Pa. family history spanning 1736 - 1823 it sparked me to return to collecting. It's a little hard to put...
Right. I guess that must be a photo of the F-Details example used by that grading service, i.e., used in-house as their reference.
