              I see PCGS added the 42/1 varieties with weights of 10 each. Bummer for you guys.

              Pretty Much what I thought it would be. A little Suprised at the weights for 18P...25D....25S....30S. Especially the 18P. That is One Tough Lure to Find.image
            3. I will list a few for sale in a little while if there is any interest, nice ones too.....check the BST in a little while

              I think the extra points for FB on the 39 (3 as I recall) is a little high. That year has a big population that have been graded. Just MHO.

              Rick:
                The additional Point for a FB 39P is Not Justified at All. By the Outdated POP Report I have 138 have been given FB in 64 and higher. Here are a few POP's of other Dates that Did Not Receive the Extra Point. All of these are 64 and higher. 20S...(65)...23S...(23)...24S...(30)...25S...(74)...26S...(30)...27D...(26)and 27S...(16). Many other Dates also have much lower FB Stats than the 39P.
                  I am still trying to Figure out why the 16D got a Weight of 10 also. IMHO the 16D Does Not Deserve the Weight of 10. Was Glad to see the 21P and 21D were weighted Correctly.
