Nice stuff. I think I'm starting to come full circle with low grade. It's where I started out as a kid, partially because that was all I could afford - but also partially because in general, that's what was available. Makes you wonder sometimes about all these PSA 8 and higher vintage cards you see today. Walking into a shop in the 1980's, it was NOT the norm to see pack fresh cards from the 1950's in the case. I digress.

I moved from low grade vintage as a kid, to mid- and even high grade as an adult collector at some point when I had the means. But lately I have realized that I think I'm just as happy with VG and even worse range cards. I have had my phase where the hobby was about money and grading. But now I'm ready for it to be about the players and the cards again, and I think I'm just done with all the hoopla beyond that. As long as a card is in LG ("Looks Good") to me condition - that's really all the effort I sometimes feel like putting out anymore. Oh yeah, this can be a way to help out your wallet as well!
