Another TPG (NGC?) requires that all three band be split to earn the RSB label. I'm dealing with an old, fuzzy memory. |

I'm dealing with an old, fuzzy memory. They both require full separation of the middle bands. NGC really just describes it in more in depth in their own words from an article from last September that the other two bands require separation and other places on their site just talk about the middle bands and nothing else. The key though is the middle bands are described as FULL separation where the others just separation. There's plenty that don't have full separation on all three for various reasons as long as the middle is fully separated. Long story short the middle bands are most important |

I'm going to get better pics when the light is right to let the battle royal continue after more close-ups are taken.

Oh man...I see what you are saying the 3 horizontal bands but the one at the bottom. Is basebal21 correct though? on the description of full bands? would this be the poor man's 55 Mercury dime full bands? Edited by DoctorBurnzy
