[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 73205, member: 192"] Recently, at a local B&M, I overheard part a conversation about high grade pipes that surprised me. Their definition of high grades was much less restrictive than my interpretation. I’ve never seen a proper definition of the term and only have an intuitive understanding of it, therefore I would like to ask those in the Inner Circle what is exactly a high grade pipe. If I look at my pipe cabinets, how can I tell which ones are high grades? Maybe I don’t even have any?... The first time I encountered the term was in the mid 90s, which makes me think that this is a relatively new concept in pipe collecting. Perhaps its origin is contemporaneous to the beginning of the acceptance of used pipes (Barry Levin)? I would like very much to find out about the origin of the concept “high grade” and about its use. [/QUOTE]
