Hello new members, and welcome. I've never done this before because I consider myself a "new" New Marx collector. But I've noticed some new members in the last...
Steve, That was my point. I've purchased a few items advertised with flaws lately. The tiny rub mark, the imperfect bend. These problems seem so small to me....
