Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2573279, member: 10461"]The template you see was made with the PCGS TrueView image.  Phil Arnold at PCGS is a master.  Granted, the TrueView is a "glamor shot", and the colors only "pop" at certain angles (compare with my shaky cellphone shots of the slab), but it definitely has the eye appeal.  I paid less than $150 for it, too, so the "bang for the buck" factor on this one was very high.  I made a decent profit when I sold it a few days ago. Yep, sorry, Cathy, but as noted above, you're a few days too late.  This thing lasted barely an hour on the CU Buy-Sell-Trade Forum before being snapped up like the proverbial "duck on a junebug".  I knew it would sell fast. Why, you ask, did I sell it?  Well, I had newps to pay for.  The sale of this one helped purchase another nice piece.  This is the nature of the Box of 20 discipline.  It gets harder and harder to turn loose of 'em once they start getting really nice, but the upside to that is, they often sell fast when you list 'em, and then you've got a boost on buying the next "upgrade", whatever that turns out to be. I am also trying to bring the minimum value of everything in the box up above the $200-ish level, and that's pretty much accomplished.  There are still a couple of pieces I paid less than $200 for in the box, but they should be worth more than $200.[/QUOTE]
