I'm drooling over this Gettysburg as it's one of the nicest toned examples I've seen since the 1990's.

Surface condition wise it's easily on par with what you see in MS67 holders today.

    Probably not but there's a quite a few negative eye appealing and tentative AT MS67 and 67+'s out there.

    Now that you ruined the surprise, I'll just have to call him and have him ship it to me instead.

    Then I'll thank whomever wrote the check. :)

    I think the images themselves are great, but they aren't available online as easily found, well-known reference images the way say TrueViews, Heritage and Stack's are.

    If it shows up in a Registry, it's trivial for the owner to attach the above images.
