That's one of the big downsides to PSA holders. Though they do seem to display well.
You're right there. Value-wise, PSA beats BVG/BGS with vintage hands down. I'm seeing that in modern stuff too. Do a search for McDavid or Crosby for example, and you'll a lot of the time PSA sells for more.
True. And when you see that, you wonder if it is more the PSA name or reputation that is carrying the price because of their good rep. with vintage grading, or if their grading is truly more accurate for modern? Somehow I doubt there would be much difference.
Nice new additions, but I thought you were sticking only to PSA 9's?
Oh okay. That makes sense. I continue to like this project. How many players do you have left to buy?
Interesting. Just curious, when deciding which rookie card to buy, post-1990, considering there are multiple rookie cards for each player, what makes you choose one rookie card over another? Is it the most valuable rookie? Or the most collected (i.e. the Young Guns)? I noticed you chose several rookies from the regular UD set. When looking to buy say a Nickas Lidstrom rookie card, why not buy his Premier rookie?
That makes sense. You've got one of the coolest PC's on HI. I mean obviously it takes a lot of discipline and focus to do what you're doing - the time and money is significant too. Every year, you might remember, HI has the annual "Top" cards you purchased/acquired for the year. Most people do a top ten, but some people do more or less than that. I will be curious to see what your "Top" S&T thread of the year will look like. Should be one of the better one's.
Burt is the last name, Collin is my first name. LOL. But you're welcome!thanks Burt, that's very nice of you to say. I Just had my second child so now that i have 2 kids under the ages of 3 that will undoubtedly have an effect on my ability to purchase cards haha. That's OK though since I keep telling myself that this is a marathon and not a race. I think my next "big" purchase will be to buy another display case cause the one that I have only holds 50 cards (as you can see below). Unfortunately the only place that sells them is in the USA and the shipping is as much as the actual case.
Your cards look great in that display case. Is that your whole PC for now? Or you have more still to display? Either way it looks awesome!
No problem. Well it is a great collection. Good job! So you are looking for a better case to store all of your graded cards. Sounds like a good idea.
