Unbelievable. You could probably have a large portion of the Goudey set in VG with no creases for that kind of money. What would you rather have? Is just non-sensical. I know many on here disagree. I'd rather have 20-30 cards that are a solid copy with eye appeal and no creases in a 3-4 Grade, than one PSA / SGC 8-9 of a mid level star like Whitey Ford. Am I crazy?

Jason,
FYI, you are certainly not crazy, but neither are the collectors who crave high-grade cards. To each his own, and while I also seek strong eye appeal "Vg" to "Ex" cards, I could never criticize anyone for what their taste (and budgets) deem desirable. Always remember..."beauty is in the eye of the beholder"!
Sincerely,
Joe T.
