Allow me to ask this question for all of those who have posted responses to the past rating discussion.
Would anyone object to me using a numerical number that would only refer to the wear and tear of a chip? If yes or no, why.

I believe if a person puts up a scan of a chip for sale, the prospective bidder can see from the scan that the center inlay is off center or not, and he or she can see how the inserts are in relations to the center inlay. In essence my numerical number would not consider the esthetics of the chip. It would only represent the wear and tear of the chip that is not easily deciphered in the scan.

If for example, I put a rare shoe box or whatever on Ebay with a scan, and I put a numerical value as to it's condition, I'm only referring to the wear and tear of the piece. Even though there is no standard for grading a shoe box most people would understand a grade of 95 means very little wear and tear and that a 85 means more wear and tear.

I think that with all this anti slabbing discussion in the past on this bb, people want to put down anything that sounds like grading. Please understand that all I'm trying to do is give a bidder a better feel for what the wear and tear of the chip is without having to verbally write down in detail how worn the chip is in which the buyer cannot interpret in the scan

BTW: My id on Ebay is chiper123. Bid with confidence on my auctions, money back guarantee, except the S&H. And please note I have never had anyone return a chip to me for any reason.
