Barry - If I read that correctly he said in the 10 years he looked he saw one 9. It was the only one he had the opportunity to buy and it had a corner he questioned so he chose to pass on it. After years of looking when the grade 10 was offered he decided the premium was worth paying to end the pursuit of a card within his desired condition parameters.
Regarding Young's collection I think it's fair to want to know as many details as possible. But without the details people assume and in most cases they are skeptical and assume the worst. I just wanted to point out two instances within the story that directly contradict common assumptions made about high grade collector's and TPG companies.
