<p>[QUOTE="SteveMS70, post: 439773, member: 15251"]7 Day return policy. No reason to assume he just went for the slab/grade. I've gotten tons of spot-on grades from ICG at great deals.

If it's a coin you really want, then paying retail price shouldn't be too big of a deal; plus the '50s and '60s Frankies are pretty easily obtainable at afforable prices and with spot on grades with the coveted FBL designation (FOR HE MOST PART. we all knew these companies over/undergrade at times, nobody is perfect). So with all that in mind, look around and I bet you'll find dozens Franklins slabbed and with good grades. I personally don't like ones with album toning, or any toning at all. I look for the ones with nice clean fields with few scratches.
