[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3003027, member: 36230"]With all due respect... While it certainly noble that you're trying to assist a friend, you need to understand that it's entirely possible that you can end up doing more harm than good, simply due to your lack of experience in this area. It's truly great that you've made such an effort to educate yourself and I commend you for it, but in many respects the knowledge necessary to make the best of this isn't something that one can acquire in a short period of time, and is particularly true when it comes to grading and/or identifying problems/alterations. Even if you don't personally know anyone who does posses the prerequisite experience, it may be worth talking to a local dealer. Don't buy into the "all dealers are bad" crap as it's complete nonsense; as with most everything else in life, there are good and bad. If this isn't an option, please consider using the forum as a means of separating the wheat from the chaff by simply asking before you make any further submissions and/or moves. While not as reliable as an in-person viewing, if you can post sufficient photos, the membership should be able to screen for you and in the long run potentially save your friend much hassle and headache. Welcome to the forum, sir.[/QUOTE]
