I'm upgrading (I should have said TRYING to upgrade) all of my sets from 1957 to 1972, so these days I am definitely looking for cards in nicer shape. But I have to address something that people keep on saying. Collecting for personal enjoyment or collecting for 'investment' are in no way mutually exclusive. You don't have to choose one approach or the other. I collect because I frickin' love it…but I also want to be sure that if I'm forced to sell off everything one day that I'll get a decent penny in return for it all. It always lingers (at least a little bit) somewhere in the back of my mind. I'm sure most collectors have the selfsame (love that word!!) mindset.
