<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 1769533, member: 56370&quot;]I have to agree with funkee&#039;s recommendation regarding graded notes.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m fairly new to the hobby as well so it&#039;s nice to have a second opinion from somebody who grades notes for a living.&nbsp; I got burned a while back on Ebay when I bought a (raw) nice, white, crispy- looking FRBN that was dark and dingy when I got it in the mail.&nbsp; Not an expensive purchase but it taught me that unscrupulous sellers don&#039;t even have to doctor notes when they can let the brightness settings on the scanner do the work...&nbsp; I have a large size 5$ FRN that looks almost AU at first glance but is graded VF20 by PCGS because it was washed and ironed.&nbsp; I still enjoy owning it because I paid the VF price as that&#039;s what it was graded as, not the AU price from somebody trying to pass off a doctored note with a nice photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
