Jim- much clearer. Yes, the board is not a friendly place to post for a PSA-8 collector, but I think it was the "backbone" comment that started a conflagration. I guess it touched a chord in people who don't have the means to buy high grade cards. And it is silly to think that the poll question was "who would want to own PSA-8 if they could?" We could start a poll which asks: if someone were giving out free T206 Wagners, would anyone want one? That would be greatly different than a poll which asked: would you pay the current market price and buy a T206 Wagner if one became available? Of course everybody would like all their cards in perfect condition, but in the real world very few can afford it. I don't believe that 35% of the people on this board could afford to collect in PSA 8. But I bet close to 100% of the board would like to own them if money were no object.
