Rusty,
I do not have a specific award in mind. However, I would like to have a better understanding of how to evaluate awards for purchase that did have some type of damage. For example, I might be more willing to buy an order with noticable enamel damage with the thought of fixing it in the future and improving it's condition and appearance without diminishing its value. My question is whether this 'fix' would actually have an overall negative effect to the value of the order. I suspect it might even be considered cheating by some (is it?). This argument is purely hypothetical in the interests of increasing my knowledge in evaluating awards for purchase. I am a newbie to this hobby and am learning a lot from all of your commentary at this site. Thanks for your help! Tom |
