How in the world did Gilmore grade as it did? What am I missing?

Winston-Salem not Winston-Sa

How do I know? My son just bought a house there.

Paper loss on the front I presume.

Nice 10s though.

Leon fantastic looking 10's
Great service by Rob

Great looking cards. Good examples of why "technical" grading can be flawed!

I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but I just don't get it. If these are 1s, does that mean that the most beat-to-hell cards you can possibly imagine would all also be 1s? That makes no sense to me at all.

Yes, I agree, 1's/10's cover way too much ground.

Great cards Leon

Technically the grades are probably correct though I think I could argue for SGC20s. We have been over this many times. They are what they are and we need to buy cards and not slabs. The others in this set were really nice and I love the set, had been working on it onesy-twosy for a few years so decided to bite the bullet.

Steve- I have about 5 extras from the set I had been working on. I am sure we will talk..

Dan- Yes, and I acquired those Western PLaygrounds complete too.....I am not much on set collecting as I prefer types. I just always thought this was a cool looking, esoteric set so it fits.

I remember the year Barry Sloate received his REA purchases the day after the auction ended (actually, he received them on Sunday, so technically it was the same day). That's when you know you've achieved rock-star status in the hobby.

We've had this discussion before, in a thread I started--eye appeal often trumps technical grade!

Stimulating thread, Leon, and great looking cards!

Best always,
