I think everyone has extremely valid points
Card collecting is fun but a stressful burden if you are doing it as a business and for the love of the hobby. Thats what I do.
I love to collect and fell in love w the 33 goudey set and 1915 cracker jack set when I took a bus to the convention center in my hometown when I was 12 yrs old and saw those gems.
1972...a ruth card was 50 bucks and I had 50 bucks in my pocket.
I cut grass and shoveled snow and saved money.
I bought a bunch of piedmont tobacco cards for one dollar each ....I was just a kid.
I remember seeing a 53 mantle in a plastic sleeve which was beautiful for 8 dollars.
If you all want to see the 109 cards that were rejected by psa as crossovers that were all psa 8s go to this website
Rgold7000 image events 1933s
I bought 109 of those cards at sgc 88 and 92
Not one crossed.
They were all psa 8s at one time
I see that the gentleman I bought the cards from has commented on my posts.
Perhaps psa is a little more strict nowadays
But u have to admit
That means collection was sweet..every card I purchased from him was an 88 or 92
And I've never talked to anyone in the hobby that is smarter than rgold7000
Everyone of his cards were pristine
He is a perfectionist
Every corner may not have been perfect but surface area and eye appeal was as good as any psa 8 in the hobby except for the 33 goudeys that just sold on heritage
That collection is the finest group of 33s I've ever seen
Everyone of those cards were high high psa 8s the rest were 9s and deserving.
So I don't mean to piss anyone off
I own restaurants so this is why I post late at night
Never leave my work until 230am
