<p>[QUOTE="MEC2, post: 2421755, member: 38692"]Ah, the Chief has suckered many a first time collector into picking him up. Same with the Buffalo.

Can you see the repairs? Probably not. The apparent notation can affect value but on a VF20 on a common note, with the note being for "small repairs" it's more for clarity's sake, I doubt there's much of a value loss, at that level on a high demand note, it's usually about eye appeal. And I think it has fine eye appeal for the grade. As long as you didn't pay for an investment grade (if there is such a thing...) note, I say nice pickup![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
