OMG! And look at that huge stain on the back of that 10 by "Talkin' Baseball".

As someone who only recently gave in and started incorporating slabs in my collection at all, I don't see the attraction of the Registry game what-so-ever. That being said, "à chacun son goût", whatever tickles your pickle (not a literal translation). This hobby is beautiful because it accomodates many "right" ways to collect something.

Wow that's truly nuts. You wouldn't even be able to find a buyer for that card if it was raw. It's overproduced 80's garbage! Just think how many unopened boxes, packs and cases of 1986 topps are out there. No doubt there's, tons of "10's" out there sitting in garages and storage bins. Not to mention how many 9's which many times are interchangeable and basically look exactly alike, but that's besides the point here.

I thought you'd have to be a loon to grade any 1986 topps card. That's truly crazy! But hey the buyers happy I guess, the sellers certainly happy so win win. Plus when buyers like this are out there buying things like this they're not bidding against me on anything I want so everyone wins I guess
