OK - you have the stamp to examine, so where do you see the 18th row?? There is absolutely nothing below my row 17, nor do I see anything above my row 1. Even when rows/columns are incomplete, there is usually a point or two to indicate where it "should be" but I don't see anything.  |

I do not see a Z-grill here - just no evidence of an 18th row. The blue circles are where dirt/inclusion/something presents the illusion of a possible row -- BUT -- for a grill row to be there, we would have to also see evidence of a row in the area of the red box. Unfortunately there is nothing here.  |

14 X 17, Scott 87 as mentioned earlier. Whoever wrote on the back certainly had wishful hopes and quite possibly counted through a magnifying glass and hoped / thought they found the 18th row. |
