Ahhh - you wanted pics. Should have realized that :o
But Owle as long as people buy into this nonsense and continue to blindly accept the over-grading done by the TPGs, then the TPGs will continue to...
I was wondering if you were going to post those. Still amazes me that they had the guts to assign those grades.
