Another Andy Skrabalak Thread

Not sure the Skrabalaks need another complement but....
Saw a lincoln online in a major auction last month, the image was weak but the grade was not. If the coin was nice it would be in the wheelhouse for my collection. I asked Andy if he could look at it for me and if HE liked it to bid up to X - which was the PCGS price guide listed value.
He viewed the coin and immediately emailed and said his reaction was "WOW" and he advised me to up my bid. So I upped my bid to 2X. Well, back and forth back and forth but 2X wasn't close and so Andy bought it with his money at 4X. Andy had zero obligation to send it to me, he even had the coin sold at Baltimore but held on to it so he could give me a shot.
No surprise I locked it away at 4X plus a reasonable fee for their work.
Was this extremely good service or has service just become rare? Either way, I'm feeling like I got all the benefit

That would be nice wouldn't it?
But in this case, probably not in the cards given grade assigned already.

<< <i>I love Andy. Honest and great to deal with!! Come on Jeff, let's see the Lincoln!!!! >>
I tried, honestly. But somewhere between my crappy imaging skills and difficult to capture surfaces - my pictures are dissapointing and the coin's too handsome in hand to show those. Maybe I'll finally send some out.

<< <i>Nice Jeff!! 66BN is my favorite grade, either MS or Proof.
I am in complete agreement! Few things are more beautiful than a fully toned, mark free lincoln.

Congrats on that nice pickup.
I have a fabulous picture of Andy, who is a very good friend of mine, taken yesterday would you like me to post it? You will laugh ...
Of course. I am always up for a good laugh.
