Early HVX in this Gold Standard?

Post by lykaon78 »

I bought this GS and its three siblings before I knew about HVX. Needless to say... I've been watching all four like a hawk. This is the first concerning sign I've seen (admittedly untrained eyes). Is this HVX?

The sad part is the four take up a pretty substantial part of this bed and my wife will be very disappointed.

Hi,

From here, looking at a small picture it looks like streaking, not virus. I don't see any virus symptoms. Hopefully it will stay that way :)

Thanks Chris! That was the only spot I'm concerned with. Unfortunately, I only have to head to my local box store to see a virused GS for an example.
