   That's about 10% of the PCGS price guide value. After seeing the TV I think I'd try to sell it as is.

   WB-101, WB-2. R3. Weird that a new gen holder got so scratched.

   I'd just opt for reholdering it. To replace the slab with a perfectly new one is only $14. There is a $10 handling fee and a $4 shipping fee too. Of course you would need to spend some on postage on your end too.

   Chris beat me to it. Start with 800, 1500 then 3000 grit. Polish alone won't work on that deep of scratching.

   Reholder would cost $14 plus $27 return shipping and probably $10 handling fee. Much cheaper to use Meguiar’s PlastX or ScratchX.
