Mob Mentality On Chatboards

[RCMcKenzie]

Here's a BVG 9 on eBay for $70 and a PSA 10 for $7650 I collected these from packs as a kid. There are a lot of 1977 Topps out there. I like nice looking 9's for under $100. I don't really understand the "10" designation. It's not an attack, just an observation and opinion about 1970's era Topps cards...Rob

I agree 100%. I have many 9s (even 8s) that I prefer to 10s all the time. I originally sold my other Yount 10 for a better looking 9. This partucular card has it all. The Yount is just tough to find without the print and focus issues.

Phil, I was joking. Between the two big grins and agreeing with you in the Rose thread, I thought you would notice. Not only that, but it's not the only thread where I've addressed you and appreciated your input (the other being my recent '52 Topps one).

But I'm not joking now when I say that I can't believe how uptight and negative some people are on those boards, and how quick they are to assume the worst.

I don't look at graded card prices very much so this sort of thing always amazes me.

Me too, is it really just about the registry and bragging rights?

That PSA 10 Yount card may be for sale by Sports Cards Forever. That fellows cards are always priced 5-10x beyond where the rest of us reside.

I'm not a registry guy--not even a little. Certain 70's cards may offer more of a challenge to a discerning collector than you might be aware.

I think you could argue that about any era though, no?

True of every era, indeed. Yes, I know you were joking, Lol
