    Heh, is my picture that bad? image Yes, it's the big DDO. I'm calling it VF details with either very thick toning or mild corrosion, I have to break it out of the 2x2 tonite to check the surfaces more carefully. I thought it was a pretty good buy for twenty bucks and change shipped.

    The seller cost themselves a LOT of money by not using a bigger, clearer picture. Of course, they probably had no idea they had a cherry waiting to be picked.

    You're not kidding with that first statement. In between the two I picked, a third example showed up on eBay unattributed, but with clear pictures. That seller made out much better than either of the guys I bought from.
