The "poor photo" thing can be a very excellent gamble. Two years back, a widow was listing a bunch of pre-war grips on EBAY. Her husband had spent his life collecting Smith grips. The photos were so bad and blurry, you couldn't really tell much of anything about the grips. Nobody would bid or buy them. Over a month I wound up getting a bunch of them from the teens through the 1930's for around $75 each. . .all minty. Now all my K Frames that were in need look like new guns. It was a good gamble.
