Randall,

Don't get me started on grading pinbacks. If you think a collett has been sanded, view it under a strong magnifying glass. Sandpaper will leave fine scratches in the metal. Anyone who attempts to clean a collett with chemicals had better have the fingers of a surgeon. That which cleans metal can damage plastic (celluloid) and (back) paper.
