NEED HELP, may be making an investment

When it is an attic find and all they have are high dollar star cards and no commons turn and run fast and far away. I would honestly advise buying a couple commons from the various vintage issues in holders or from a trusted dealer like 707 you may have to pay a little more but you now have exemplars. study the cards so you have a good card to compare your possible purchases. loupe the cards under 10x or more magnification and study how they are printed. all cards from issues should be printed in the same manner.

Exactly what I am trying to do, but mostly for me to give me a general idea on how mine would grade up.

Purchasing from E-Bay is crazy pricey for the shipping etc, so I think in the future, purchasing from reputable folks here, depending on their prices, is the only way to go for me.

That being said, I am interested in some PSA/SGC graded 52 Topps. I have looked at some already but I believe it's time I had a look again.
