This is my first post on this board.
I collect NY Mets PSA graded cards. Since the Mets were formed in 1962 (same year I was born), my task is a bit easier than someone who collects Reds, Yankees, Giants, etc.
Obviously, it's your collection, so you make your own rules. Here are my "rules":
1. It would be virtually impossible for me to collect every card of every player, so I collect one card of each player. I store them alphabetically.
2. I don't like cards with "action" shots. I like to see the player's face. I really prefer portraits where the player is facing the camera. If he's smiling, that's a plus.
3. I will accept PSA 9 grades for those cards issued from 1962 through 1969. But cards issued 1970 or later must have a grade of PSA 10.
I used to collect heavilly back in the late 1970s. Back then I really didn't care too much about the condition of my cards. (Stupid me!) I got back into collecting about a year and a half ago - mostly on eBay where I buy & sell.
