I love the thrill of the hunt and the excitement of completing a collection.

B/c of this I have sold many a collection so that I could start another collection.

I had a set of 1986 Fleer Basketball Cards with every card graded PSA 9 accept the Jordan rookie which was a BGS 8.5. This set is a jewel to basketball card collectors as the 80's was the golden age of basketball like the 50's and 60's were for baseball. I sold this set to start collecting a 1964 Topps baseball card set with HOF and stars graded PSA/SGC/BVG 7, or higher, and no raw card below an EX +. I have completed that 1964 Topps Set up to this standard and think I will hold on to it for a while.

I also had a 1987 Fleer Basketball Card set with every card graded as a PSA 9 or PSA 10. Its was the #7 set on the PSA Registry. I sold that set to build a 1975 Topps set with HOFers and stars in PSA 8 or higher. I completed the set in raw form in EXMT - NMMT condition but I'm still upgrading it. I have 114 PSA graded cards in PSA 7 - PSA 9. Most stars and HOFers are graded in PSA/SGC/BVG 8 condition. The raw cards are in EXMT to MT. If I see a lot of 1975 Topps graded commons I scoop them up when the price is right but I never over pay for graded commons.

The one collection I will never bust up is my Hank Aaron Collection.

As you see I don't care who the grading company is as long as the card in the plastic case is not over graded.
