Re: Grading Standards

First of all let me say I have found many good deals here but have learned to take the grading of most items tongue in cheek. I haven't had to deal with any rust issues but "like new in the original box" should mean no corrosion on the trucks and no broken parts. I'm an operator; not a collector, so I don't expect perfection but perhaps the powers that be should take some time to open boxes for a cursory examination before pronouncing the grade as such and such. Not a slam; just a suggestion. I will keep buying from Charlie since he has the best deals and great service.
