It's all about the registry

I'm fine with mine:

My raw VG-EX was like $40. And the tougher white blob variant. I have a hard time seeing how sharper corners, lighter coloring and better centering would bring me $126,000 more joy. I guess I could show the label to my friends and explain to them that the "10" means I am better than everyone else for owning it in this companies registry competition. That might account for the joy gap.

You'd need to have the right psychology to derive joy from bragging though.

Thanks, Jason. It's one of my favorites. Vintage Topps dark color background cards are so nice when they aren't covered in print boogers. You just have to be patient to find them.







Could not give less of a $hit about the number on the slab. A sub-8 on cards with this sort of clarity and print quality is a feature, not a bug.

I love that 1959 Frank Robinson card!
