I recently bought a gar which looks like this (see photo) does he look like a low grade platinum gar or is his colored just washed out? Thanks!

Ps, he still has some pigments on his dorsal side. Not grade A but does he have some value to him? I bought him for around 70usd

The platinum gar that I have seen are pure white. However for 70 bucks that seems like a good compromise.

Here’s a recent pic. Hoping for a low grade platinum or a semi platinum if there’s such a thing

I would say platinum or not you got a beautiful gar for a great price.
Value is subjective and unless you plan to sell it doesn’t really matter.
I would love to have it. Great find IMO.
