I would agree the prewar icons aren't getting any cheaper. Thanks again for the perspective. It would be much more doable if I could get comfortable with the idea of VG or lower for both prewar and postwar. I'm already there for the former, but not for 1950's and 60's cards. Not sure why that is, as Robert pointed out - as a 13 year-old in 1990, I was happy often even with creased-up postwar vintage star cards. I've seen other posts where people come full-circle, starting out collecting lower grade as a kid, moving up to nicer and even investment grade cards as adults when they have the money - and then later realizing they were just as happy with VG cards. I'm not there yet, although I have gone past the need to have PSA 7's or above in postwar vintage, realizing often times that I'm just as happy with a 4 or 5. We'll see, I guess.
