    Good, cause the MS/PR 70's I've seen have room for improvement.

    It's a DNC or a bodybag...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    They are also alchemists. On my last submission they turned an SAE in to a $25 GAE.

    The 9 is right above the 6 on the number pad...

    That thing must be worth a coin and a half in the registry!

    Wouldn't that be an 86? image

    I would be out of my mind with fury at the chaos and stupidity that would result from switching to the 100-point scale. It would probably drive me away from the hobby, at least for a long hiatus.

    It took 8 months for this order to get graded? And here I was anxious for my order to get done after just two months. image

    This whole 100 point grading scale is starting to get on my nerves. Whats the need for it? There will be generally the same amount of grades, just the numbers will be different. It will only cause much inconvenience
