Hi Jerry,
I just took a look at your web page. Here's a little information on GBD. In October, 1996, Mike Hagley had some info of GBD which I downloaded. Here's his list in probable descending order of grade:
Pedigree
Pedigree I
Pedigree II
Straight Grain
Prodigy
Bronze Velvet
Virgin
Varichrome
Prestige
Jubilee
New Era
Prehistoric
International
Universe
Speciale Standard
Ebony
Tapestry
New Standard
Granitan
Sauvage
Sierra
Penthouse
Legacy
Concorde
Almost forty years ago my first burners, Obelisk6, were a New Standard and an Ebony. The Ebony - a classic English billiard - is still in my rotation. You made out just fine, pal.
