    Just say NO. Have you blown up the picture the check the bands? I can't tell what they look like from the scan, but you have far too much downside risk here IMHO. It could easily be an MS64 w/o bands.

    I agree with DC. It looks like it MIGHT be a 65, but it's hard to tell and the bands can't be seen good enough. For that kind of money if it 64's bands or no bands your screwed.

    Just say no!

    It could even be better than a 65, but as previously stated, the FB cannot be determined from the pictures. Too bad there are only 6+ hours left, you might have been able to ask the seller for better scans.

    Pass on it. It looks OK, but there picture isn't good enough to make a decision. It could grade anywhere from MS64 without bands up to a 66FB. Too much downsude risk, plus there's no mention of any return policy.
