   This post by Russ is maybe the most useful post so far this year. It goes to show that grading services are not infallible and that many collectors know their series as well or better than the pros. A sincere thank you Russ for a teriffic post.

   Thanks for sharing Russ! By the looks of the grades and your opinion on same, you've got a good eye - perhaps a bit conservative but that's better than overestimating and being disappointed! Nicely done! Mike
