<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3437492, member: 1765"]So it was graded AU55 in 2001? What do you think it would grade today? I don't know that I'd say AU55, but I'd probably say AU. Lots of strike variation on these, so grading by luster rather than details is the way to go. It'll be hard to determine if it was graded over-conservatively back in 1989. You can't really compare with existing 1989-era PCGS or NGC holders effectively, since the upgrades have already mostly been cracked out, and you'll see a bias toward the dogs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
