    The problem with grading boards is its very subjective and is between you and your buyer in the end. This is why have not gotten a 100% solid answer to your question. Exposure to more threads and examples of boards will add to your knowledge. You will begin to recognize more opportunities.

    The responses you got from myself and the others were exactly what you need but you don't realize it yet. I have gotten the "why don't you just answer the question" before. I have to say if I was staqnding next to you and looking at the material you have then giving you a very direct answer would be simple and not just for me but the others who responded to you.

    Everyone who responded to your thread wants you to succeed and progress in your business. Take a moment to consider this. Seriously, best of luck, Mike

    I wanted to emphasize this part in bold. We do all want you to succeed. I know I do. An I know the others do also, after all that's what the forums here are about, helping each other be succesful in their chosen part in the scrap game, an to of course share knowledge an to network.

    We're not being harsh but I know you been around long enough to see the oft repeated questions so you can feel our pain in answering again, an again, an again, an again, again...you get the point.

    You have to dig deep sometimes an filter through various threads to get all the info an it won'[t happen over night, a week, 6 months, etc. It's an on going thing. Hell I've been here close to 3 years now an still have to look things up an I learn something new just about everyday. I also find myself diving into the archives to find answers to questions. ha!

    Anyhow, again not *****ing at ya, or trying to rip anyone a new one. Me an many others want to see each an everyone of you folks be successful, an if means a bit of tough love...well..it's for a good cause.

    Good luck!

    Mech hit the nail on the head or maybe it was the head on a nail.
