^ditto. I"m pretty sure they ship the 2nds and x-outs while the 1sts are box-aging. I have some "C" corojo and maddy, "B," and "D," as well as both Vintage 2nds. They seem to be getting better with age, and I'm gonna guess that after about a year they really will be just as good--I'll let you know!
One thing is for sure--in the case of the OWR and Decade, these x-outs really are a steal!!
