Default Trust me, I don't mean to slam anyone, especially a hobby giant

Yes, you can see the flaws. Yes, if you were to send it to a grading service, you would probably get a 1 or a 10 for it. But maybe more of my question was even the price on his eBay store listing.

Quite often, I use Trae's estimator, which is a valuable resource, and I thank him for having it out there for us to use. But using the estimator for a price guideline, it should be a VG/EX to come to the price he (Kit) is asking. It is truly not close to that.

Yes, I know there are flaws to be seen; yes, he may be old school; yes, maybe the estimator is not up to date with the daily fluctuations in prices someone is willing to pay. But having been on the look out for a Spade for several months, this one just caught my eye as having several things that didn't add up to either the billing it received or the price being asked for it.

No disrespect to Kit or to Trae.
