As i am from Australia originally, we are very pedantic...Over there we are very very critical as we dont like to overgrade.... You can see 6 points of issue that are good and 2 are not so i would lean to g/VF to EF. This is mainly as the lustre is visible as well... No lustre, then VF it would be. The lines in the cheek i am not sure if that is in the metal or not so i will discard it. The rounding of the star points are taking it down for me.....I am no grading company and i do not do it for a living...However i do like to grade down so the buyer in the future will not be ripped off or scammed.... Grading companies to me mean nothing as it is only their opinions. Unfortunately people take them as gospel and the everyday long time collector with over 50 years in the hobby knows nothing like me. That is why i have given up with the highly graded items and only buy and sell cheap items.</p><p>1 People can afford it</p><p>2 The investors generally are a pain in the rear end</p><p>3. If this is a hobby, then have things priced to be a hobby...</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to sell between $1 to $5 an item, leaning more to the lower price because of the amount of turnover i may get. I also like to bring the younger generation into the hobby but you people with the keys and high quality will just scare them away... I have already seen it back home in OZ...But people in general think if something is too cheap, it is no good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
