There were many more in this auction too and I couldn't stop thinking about, if I were the submitter, how disappointed I'd be with these grades. Imo, all were eligible for a resubmit but I don't blame the submitter one bit for not wanting to play that game.

Dale, I can't tell on all of them but it looks like they may have surface issues. Looking at the first five:

Nuxhall has a scratch on his cap.
Pellagrini has scuffing along his left elbow.
St. Claire has scuffing over his right shoulder.
Crosetti has a scratch mark upper right corner.
McDougald looks like he has some blistering on his face.

Thanks, Al.

I can see those better now that you've pointed them out, but even still, with those slight issues, is that enough to warrant those grades?
Likely answered my own question as I know grading has been become much tougher/critical lately so that is likely the reason?
