Impossible to grade PL strikes, without the coins in hand...

So that means that the only way to buy these sets off of ebay is to offer 'only rock bottom bids'.. and then wait and see. |

What am I looking for? How is grading a prooflike coin unlike grading a non-prooflike?

Prooflike coins basically start at an assumption that they will be generally PL-64 or better - they are struck quite well, with mirrored fields. You need a pretty good eye to grade those strikes and know the difference between a PL-65 and a PL-67...
That is something that more or less comes with experience... try sniffing around the PCGS registry sets and look at those coins in the Prooflike registry sets.

I collect mostly Proof Like and SPP-Ottawa is correct in saying that to grade a proof like coin that in hand is the only way even at that it is very difficult to do.
