1952 Topps set question?

I think another thing that might mess with my OCD is if I started to collect these, is if PSA changes it’s slabs again! For me, I’ll have to have all the slabs matching plus I really don’t like the look of the the older PSA slabs. It would suck, if I collected these and PSA changed their Slabs halfway through!

They do it for THIS reason!

One constant...is change!

Dont forget, slabs over the years dont all stack together perfectly!

This reminds me of the guy on the PSA boards who has been amassing cases of vintage 1980s unopened to crack them to submit to PSA for 10s.

He started the thread and ripping back in 2018 when bulk grading was $6 each. He wanted to wait to submit the vast majority when he had complete sets, and then COVID boom happened, and submission prices went up to $20 minimum at one point. So the odds of him ever submitting all these perfect 10s he's been stockpiling is almost zero.

So don't let little things like slab/flip differences matter when it comes to your collecting. Take advantage of the opportunities you're given, when they're offered to you.
