I'm on the road right now using my phone and couldn't make out the accuracy of the stamp description. However I did notice that one of the cymbals had several cracks around the hole. Maybe for others it's not a big deal, but I personally would not touch that cymbal with a ten-foot pole at any price. The other cymbal also seems to have what looks like a crack or potential crack near the hole.

Can you really see well enough from a video to see cracks? I don't know. Personally I have to see each one in person in order to find them. Anyway here's the statement from man himself:

"They are all without defects or cracks, except for the short sequence with the 22" OS IV with the visible damage, greetings Matthias."

As Zenstat pointed out, I was quoting JDA and was referring to his eBay link for those 15 inch hats, not that beautiful 22" you posted. A far as the cracks are concerned, I buy cymbals to play them not just to look at them. That one cymbal with 5 cracks around the hole would make me too nervous to play them on a gig. I, nor my son, could ever really relax and enjoy them, thus my ten foot pole comment..

O.K. now I get it.

I knew an old f-a-r-t like Bos couldn't possibly see that good.

What I lack in visual acuity, I more than make up for in charm. :)

I've noticed that above all cymbals, K's don't like to wash.

That's mostly true with the old stamps, except for some of the type IV's. Not always true with the intermediates or the new stamps. I'll demonstrate this later.
