Jim:

I figured you'd disagree with that statement. I know that you buy into the concept of the "low pop common", as do many other people. I don't.

I guess I'll give you that some of the more extreme examples, like the one you mentioned where the card was a pop 1 in PSA 8, you're probably onto something. But some of the low-pop PSA 8 1953 and 1961 Topps cards I've sold in the last two years or so were cards I found very easily - raw - and submitted myself. I just think that there are two many high-grade raw collections out there still.

I know we disagree on this, that's cool. A lot of people disagree with me on it. Again, it's my perspective since so much of what I buy is raw.
