These two cards should grade the same???

Chris, Sorry again. I'm glad I was able to clear it up. The Old Judge hunting is going well. I'm now at the point when things get hard to find and more expensive. I just bought a very nice lot of 15 cards that should be on my registry very soon along with some other's I have grabbed up this past year. 2003 was a good year for Old Judges. Now If I can accumulate half the number as I did last year I will be very pleased. I just wish KitYoung would stop buying soon.

Quan, I believe that a glue repair on a Old Judge would be different than one on a E card. The N172's where originally assembled with glue. I know it is still a restoration but the card was graded according to the cards condition. Also who's to say that the card wasn't glued in the period it was produced, but I think I opening a whole other can of worms hear. It's really all up to the individual to determine if the card fits in his collecting world. What's the saying you guys always use, "BUY THE CARD NOT THE HOLDER!!!!" The Ward is a very nice example but I believe graded fairly. Ounce again just MY opinion.
