Yeah I think Peter is talking about the Vertigo one-sheet that sold for $9600. Whoever graded it "VF on linen" hasn't seen a lot of Vertigo one sheets - or - is engaging in hopeful / wishful thinking. And yet - because it was in a Sunday weekly sale instead of a signature sale - suggests someone might've known it wasn't high grade - despite the premium condition label attached, hoping whoever bought would rely on the image vs. what was in the descriptive text.
In my view, if Grey Smith was still there - (he left Heritage more than a year ago and is now doing fine over at Propstore) - it's unlikely he would've ever let this go up with a "VF" grade. He would've probably given it a "G-VG on linen" - while Bruce H. would've given it a "G on linen" - both grades, whatever their differences - would've been a lot closer than "VF on linen" represented. Just my opinion, not factual. -d.
