Yeah, I can understand that. I had a buddy with a pair that was pretty washed out and when pups came out of the pair, I was impress with the quality and marking. For some reason, alot of member always tend to want to see parents but i guess if you have a good eye for rays, then most of the time you can see what is consider good quality pieces. Thanks again for the response.
I think pics of parents are very important. I've seen many amazing looking pups turn out just like thier parents. Sure they are 10 fold as nice as the parents when young, but a majority that I've seen tend to STAY nice IF the parents are nice.
If you're in it to just keep them till they get big then sell them then no biggie, look for the nice ones. BUT, IF you're in for the long haul and will be keeping it till the end, I'd feel MUCH more confident buying a pup with nice parents then a nice pup with average parents.
I could be wrong but till someone shows me the proof I'm sticking with what I have seen.

DB,
I see your point of view. I guess it all depends on people preference. I try look to see what the parents are to know what im expecting, but sometimes its hard due to vendor or people just having pups but no pix of parents so its like a 50/50 gamble. Even for wild caught, you just have to justify by picking the star of whats imported. I have to give props to AJ, for that male he picked up. For sure, thats a stunner.
