PSA 10s

It's not worth it, Rob. If you're looking for the very best eye appeal humanly possible, a PSA 9 is more than good enough.

I think the whole registry game is ridiculous. It's a bunch of people showing off how much money they've spent. Because if you need an electron microscope to find a flaw in a PSA 9 that makes it inferior to a 10, you're doing it wrong. At that point, it becomes a registry score, and bragging rights are more important than the cards themselves.

I'm building the 1975 Topps set in a PSA 8, and I'm completely happy with what I've got thus far. I look at a card like this...



and I'm tickled pink. If one of the corners has the tiniest hint of white, or if the centering left to right is only 52/48....who cares? I could warp back to 1975, and open 1,000 packs trying to find this same card in that identical condition.

I'm very happy to have what I do. It's just not worth obsessing over, to me.

It may be about the score, but I guess I like the competition. I also have the 1997, and the 1999 sets almost finished. Those are the years my kids were born. I hope they like them when they are done.

birthday sets I like that grading all those cards wow or searching the net for them sounds like a full time job. however you get it done good for you. I was going to send a 50 card set of 1925 cars off to be graded. PSA has never graded a single one of them. I guess I would make the registry? for a set that nobody really cares about. I am going to get it framed and matted it will look pretty nice on my wall. I was told 1925 nz ? I cant find them .
I got 39 boxing, plains, ships and train sets going to do every one the same way.
take them out of boxes and books and enjoy them.
