Re: Opinions on this Accented Hair Kennedy...
<< <i>That one didn't garner the designation at PCGS because of the frost fade in the cheek and jaw area. BUT, it would have gone cameo at an earlier time.

If you don't like that, send Russ a check for the Sellers Fees. Here's how you calculate how much. 5.25% up to… -
