<p>[QUOTE="legolas, post: 1173292, member: 30498"]Before I tell you the Grade - please check out the Note from these un-retouched scans that I took. I was ecstatic when I received the Note because it was so pristine and is rather rare being a Tombstone and even more rare being a Tombstone with the ornate back:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]122070.vB[/ATTACH]<p style="text-align: left"><p style="text-align: center"><font size="6"><font size="3"><font size="2"><b>(click to Enlarge)</b></font></font></font></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p></p> <p style="text-align: left"><font size="6"><font size="3"> <font size="2"><br /></font></font></font></p> <p style="text-align: left"><font size="6"><font size="3"><font size="2">OK, so - the PMG grade is <i>VF 25 with Minor Repairs</i>.

So somewhere along the line, one of the previous owners removed it from the sleeve. I imagine he had the same shocked response to the Grade that I am having and just could not stand to leave this gorgeous Note inside of that "25" holder. Was it wrong to remove it?
