<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3536396, member: 31620"]I am down to owning two Owl Tets. I did have two classical tets. (both had a variety of cuts, graffiti or banker's marks). I sold these with the intent of getting an example that was free of these issues but my search continues. I had two transitional tets., one an earlier transitional and a standard transitional. I kept the early transitional as I doubt that I will ever want to upgrade it as it meets my criteria, the standard transitional suffered as so many of that issue did from tight flans etc. and a banker's mark and so I parted with it.
