Thanks for the grades all!!
Moe- I can always count on you to crash my dreams with your SLQ grades....


jk. Nah, I appreciate a tough grading, and to your credit....the seller actually graded my new 17-d as a VF too!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Liberty-Qua...p=true&rt=ncI clearly paid VF money for it as well....though I tend to agree with a low end AU grade, though I could see an XF-45 from the pics. The fields are covered with luster, though my pics as usual don't really bring it out. This purchase was an extremely pleasant surprise from the sellers less than adequate pictures.
I agree that the old one looks VF20, though the really bold date may bring it up to a 25 or so.
