I think someone was practicing their ninja throwing stars on this one! Even with all the significant damage, at under $150 I could not pass it up. I'm not sure if I'm making rational decisions anymore, or maybe I'm so far gone that I can no longer tell the difference!?!

    TookyBandit, congratulations you have just won the 2015 award for the absolutely, positively most woefully wretched note for the year. You also win the lowest grade possible award for 2015. LOL

    Congratulations and well done. image



    P.S. I'll chip in on the grading fee should you decide to go for LOW Grade!

    Haha, I'll take that award Les as long as someone else is willing to second it and make it official. I wonder if I bring it to FUN and get it graded if PCGS would be willing to add on the sticker: CU Forum's "Most Wretched Note of the Year Award 2015". That would be pretty dang cool!

    That's "woefully wretched". Wendell Wolka's grading system.



    P.S. Tell Jason I'll pay half the fee.

    Haha, I like it! That does have a much better ring to it. It would be funny if the grading scale had negative numbers when a note clearly deserves it.

    I saw that on theBay and while I am in the market for a Porthole, I decided it was one note I'd spend the extra money on to try and get at least a choice Fine 15 in if I could. It's rough as hell...
