<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brocster, post: 50841, member: 2744&quot;]KT,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your input and suggestions! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen a <u>number</u> of posts recommending the ANA Grading Guide and Photograde.&nbsp; At present, though, I&#039;ll just have to wait until I can afford them (especially the ANA guide!).&nbsp; I <u>did</u> take a look at a Red Book in a local bookstore and read through some of the sections where they have various grades and the key differentiating features for each grade -- it&#039;s just tough to remember it all (which is why I need to buy the book... I know!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; So I have been trying to determine grades based on the information I have found on the web along with what I remembered from those Red Book sections.&nbsp; It&#039;s admittedly not the greatest system, but you sure can&#039;t beat the price! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Besides, if <u><b>I</b></u> think that my IHC and SLQ are both AU-58, then what&#039;s the harm??&nbsp; (As long as I&#039;m not planning on either buying or selling anything in the future!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)&nbsp; Of course, I <u>could</u> just send them off to SGS.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure they&#039;d both come back in MS-60 holders.&nbsp; And who knows... the SLQ might even be MS-60 CAM!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, again, for your input!</p><p><br /></p><p>- Andrew[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
