60% ??

I hope not...but I fear that could be correct.

I would be shocked if that high, as there are millions of cards. We are talking Pre war too, arent we?

I would believe 60% for altered cards.

It's possible he meant altered but said trimmed.

I've been wondering what would happen to PSA graded cards. But someone probably said it best. They'll continue to sell well. You buy a PSA 5, you go to sell a PSA 5, the next buyer will think it's a PSA 5. That will never change.

I don't own a single graded card, but I'd been thinking about getting into graded. Simply for the fact that whomever tries to sell after I'm gone will have a better chance to sell if it's graded. But every time I go to pull the trigger on a graded card to get started, I'm like could be trimmed. Then I back off.

I have all raw cards, and I will continue to have all raw cards. It sucks for whomever will be trying to move them after I'm gone.

Not a chance in the world that number is accurate. No way. Not even close. Waaaay too high.
