It was never in a case until yesterday. Wondering if you guys thought it would grade out high enough where it might be worth getting slabbed? And in the picture where it appears to be in the case still- the front of the case is off. Edited by thadcaastle 07/25/2021 1:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a good site to learn grading https://www.PCGS.com/photograde/ John1" For whatever reason my camera on my phone does that when I zoom in. Everything I read on the internet said to zoom in from far away for clearer photos, but when I kept it in the case with the white around then my camera doesn't do that. Iphone operator error maybe because I'm sure there is a setting LOL. I'm on that website right now and I bought the book! Thanks! I dont see much of a difference between mine and a MS other than in my photos the luster might be impeding some of the detail in the hair on the back of the head. I can count the feathers on the neck of the eagle with my naked eye in good lighting. Not sure where the circulation wear is. Report this Post to the Staff
