What are you doing with PSA 9s? 75% conversion rate seems like you have a strong, acute eye developed for this sort of thing, but you still must have quite a stash of 9s on hand.

I'm about $5,000 into it so far. I assume it will take another $1,000 to finish. I have about 150 9's if you want to get started with a 9 set. I had an invoice for them for a guy, but he lost his job. Since then, I have another 50 or so. I think it was about $1.75-$2 per for the 9's. I am losing about $4.50 per card at that price, but at least it cuts costs some.

it seems for modern cards..you will lose money on 99% of the psa 9s...but the psa 10s..if you there a motivated collector out there actively pursuing the set due to the artificial scarcity the sky is the limit......

I'd go with 1985 Donruss. Good rookies and tough black borders will equal a good future investment imo.

Never heard of these before, but if there are approx 60 complete sets, you've got a great start at a Gem Mint collection. Plus it seems like there's some star power.
