To me, that&#039;s criminal but to Ebay, it&#039;s a buck. :goof:</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought you guys would like to see this firsthand, so that&#039;s why I posted it how I did. I wanted an unbiased opinion as to grade, before you saw what the original grade was. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And for those that don&#039;t know it, this bill has a pedigree so it will never obtain a better grade than it had before and now that it&#039;s been messed with, the grade may even go down. :goofer:</p><p><br /></p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
