Seems like bigger 3xl beaver get graded hard there,or at least ones I got an lm an meduim on down good, what are auction beaver going for? I pretty happy with grades on everything else, I don't see coon colors graded 5 nomore, just 1 though 4, how good is 3 color Foolishly, I am going to try and interpret your question. SLT is good. SDA is o.k. SDB not so good. They will all be sold as hatters for around $13. I hope this helps. Some species get Select grades handed out like candy. Some species, not so much. Who is John Galt?

I also don't think they will have 1289 rats in the top lot like it currently shows. Now I would be cool with that as I have 8 in that lot.

If there are western coyotes that get that big, they will be in the XL. There aren't enough XXL western coyotes to lot them separately. NAFA' s current mind set is that large lots and string lots are the way to go. It appears that is what many of the Asian buyers want. That is why you will see many lots with mixed grades/sizes. Like on colors - 1 to 4, all in the same lot. 30 years ago, it was a different story. Fashion industry wanted small lots. And lots of them. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.
