And the seller's price isn't too bad, either...

Right side appears to be re-perfed... other 3 sides seem to align...

It's almost certainly a reperfed straddle pane copy. They just don't exist that big.

Not quite as scarce as the catalog values might indicate; even on high values E and F grills show up in collections fairly often.

Correct. The 30c is, for a high value grill, plentiful on and off cover.

The 90c is the toughest to find nice IMO, the 24c is rare on cover but not tough off cover and not too tough to find in acceptable (VF) condition.

Yes, without question. Very very difficult to find a #101 with good centering that isn't faulty or hasn't been doctored. One wide-margined copy just sold on ebay with a clean PSE cert (although it had very weird looking perf holes, I thought) for $898.89, which I would consider a bargain if the cert is correct.

Definitely reperfed (at right, IMO) - doesn't pass the "Srail test" :-) Agree w/ billw2 about likely altered straddle copy -- VERY difficult to find 100's that wide w/ genuine perfs.
