Its interesting what PSA does with its "10s." There was a PSA 9 Nolan Ryan rookie that sold for 10k a few months ago - I think the buyer thought it could become the lone ten or why pay 2x waht the previous 9's were selling for? The card looked awesome - I could not see what brought it down to a '9." Then go and study some of the PSA 10 Montana rookie cards - OMG - they allow a more then 60/40 off center back be a 10. Want to see one - email me.

Buy the card - not the grade - we have all heard it, said it, and if you do that very thing the grading doesn't really matter. Its just a first point of order to put your card in the range.

PS...I really like BGS 10s in modern cards...I have only found one that made me scratch my head and wonder why.
