and more than happy to address those variables, matt:
i have 5 basic topps ryan sets. Quote:
the buy prices on my 9s have ranged from $800 - $1200. naturally this is over the course of 5 or so years. haven't bought a 9 in the past 8 months however 9s seem to be fetching $2K these days. again i'm not a dealer or a speculator. they are in my collection and even though the last 10 went for 40k, i'm not cashing in on this one. she's been tucked away. even if one didn't cross and/or was in it for the flip/money, a case could certainly be made for sticking w/ this process as well. buy, hold, attempt to cross and still quite a bundle to be made either way. again, to each their own but even if the 10 didn't hit, it's a win-win scenario.

Didn't mean to ask for all your specifics, Begsu. That said, this particular scenario is a win-win for you, based on your specifics, especially when the cards were bought, their appreciation since, and of course achieving the desirable outcome of hitting the ten-- all backed up, so to speak, by a collector actually enjoying the cards for a collection. Point being that the strategy stated, as positive as it was in this case, is not necessarily a viable one for all collectors. Congrats on the outcome and what matters is that a collector is happy with his cards.

Upgrade in every way; buy the subgrade , not the card...
 ...I'll also post a scan of the fronts of the cards ; I realize there are still some people on this forum who actually really care about such things...takes all kinds , I guess ... ..

1959 Topps #380 Hank Aaron September 2015 Upgrade
 ...still not thrilled because of the Top/Bottom centering , but easier on the eye than the 5.5. So the hunt for a decent clean centered high-end '59 Hank continues.... ..
