Nice insight Bob.

To expand on what Matt said, when you get down to the grade level the op is considering the pool of truly good looking examples gets even more shallow. Assuming you don't want to explore the Authentic/Altered market and are looking for a numerical grade, a centered, relatively clean psa/sgc 1.5 or lower becomes something of a unicorn.
I was shopping in this range last year and it was tough to find a centered card. Luckily I stumbled across one privately and avoided any competition for it. Considering that higher grades are out of many collectors budgets I would think demand for this range would be fierce. |

here's a fun lil test for the op.
both cards are psa graded and "X"represents your budget. both cards have creases and staining. and both are available for the same amount of $X. which one would you pick... A: ![]() OR B: ![]() Last edited by begsu1013; 12-12-2015 at 07:06 PM. |

A looks better. The background is very faded blue on B and the card looks obviously altered.
