Tim Newcomb"In fact past either 1960 or 1970, the vast majority are psa 8 or 9 collectors."
I dunno about "vast majority"-- Jim, you accuse people on this board of being narrowly inside their own little world, but I think this comment shows you are narrowly inside your little registry world as well. I mean, when you look at the huge number of ungraded low and middle condition Topps cards being sold on ebay all the time, it seems to me that there are WAY more collectors doing ungraded sets than graded ones.
But even if it were true, wouldn't it be cause for some concern among the high-grade collectors? If there are SO MANY of these cards in 8 and 9 around, with the potential for many more not yet graded, you can hardly call them rare. Those populations are just going to keep on growing....
