I Just was lucky to find 6, yes 6, Colorado sunburst with proven lineage for sale! I got a pretty good deal on them. Sizes ranging from 3” extended to 8” extended. I am picking up the remaining 4 on Wednesday!
Here are the two I picked up today!
Enjoy the eye candy!

You sure those aren't Arizona Sunburst? (yes, those are a thing). They are similar to CSB but have a two tone orange tip that can look pink at times...

I'm far from a Nem Expert -- But having seen quite a few CSB, and ASB(Arizona)... That doesn't look like a CSB @MSB123 -- BUT, who knows, it could be a little stressed from moving, or it could be from a lighting change.. Could even be a slight morph (people I know with CSB tell me something almost always triggers morphing eventually.. Maybe years and years down the road when some huge parameter swing takes place)

Nope. Arizona Sunburst. Not the Sunset, it's different. If you haven't seen it yet, keep an eye out it will be for sale through a few vendors soon.

Sunburst is not the word. Very eye catching!

I have proven lineage and I have spoken to the people about them. They are CSBs, but they have morphed under the lights they were under. Please no hate as I have proven lineage back.

People can fake social security cards, so they can also fake lineage.
Sadly many coral shops can’t even tell the difference between nice nems and CSB’s.
I’ve studied many from many different people and am familiar with how they can morph. In my opinion they don’t look the part.
Hell, even a well known shop is selling Chicago Sunburst as Colorado’s currently.
I also fell for the song and dance about lineage on some nems. Don’t be so trusting with what people tell you and get opinions from those who know better.
This should not be interpreted as hate.

Not at all. I really don’t mind what they are :) They just look nice to me. I got them for a pretty cheap price and so I don’t mind even if they’ve are nameless.

no hate, no worries. they def can and do morph. were not saying this to be jerks, were trying to make sure you know if something looks off.
