<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 25898505, member: 101855"]You really need to know what you are doing with the crack-out game. I would never buy something with the assumption that I would get a grade like MS-66. Those grades are very hit and miss UNLESS the piece is some sort of a spellbinding Gem Unc. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I played the game, I was looking a MS-62s and 63s that could turn into MS-64s. Most often it was with gold. ANACS went though a very conservative period with their grading of gold. It does not apply to ALL ANACS slabs. It was only some of them about 30 years ago. I image that most of them have been cracked an upgraded or even down graded. Very few probably exist today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
