David,
Thanks, brother-- very much appreciated. I think it's so challenging and thus rewarding to find eye appeal in mid to lower grades. These days, scans tend to distort flaws, and really misrepresent what the card is in hand. And that's when we are admiring them as collectors, when in hand, or in a display a few inches from our eyes, or maybe visiting a bank box every now and then. It's unbelievable, how great some lower grade, centered cards can hit the eye in those real-world circumstances. When looking at things this way, I just never see a reason to reach for a card in a higher, more expensive grade, when I can find satisfactory eye appeal in a lower grade. Best, Matt |
