Few years back, I saw a mint mint mint mint Brett rookie in some dealer's showcase. This was before the grading companies changed the game. I had brought 5 Dan Marino RC's to get rid of at the show. The Marino's were overpriced at the time (in my opinion) and the cards I had were mostly EX/NM, certainly no better. I offered any three for the Brett. Dealer countered with Brett for all 5 Marinos. I didn't think twice. Those Marino's were junk in my eyes and in exchange I have the best Brett rookie I have ever seen.
