All cards in my PC will be in PSA slabs with the new security label. I am not opposed to considering old PSA slabs, SGC, BVG/BGS, even GAI in certain instances but keep in mind price wise that I will be crossing them over. I am willing to trade (once my wife and I settle into our new house in February) or purchase if priced right and as my funds permit of course. Let me know what you have within my needs and we can go from there.

I've found it more practical to take vintage rookies when I can get them, and focus on some of the HOF'er's rarest cards in some of the currently more quiet areas of collecting when I cannot. Example: good luck finding an 1893 Just So Tobacco Cy Young rookie in any grade, let alone a "six." Which is not to say that I don't have some really tough rare ones, such as the 1907 Dietsche Fielding Pose Cobb, the 1907 Wolverine News Portrait Cobb; 1939 V351 Ted Williams, and 1923-24 Exhibit Al Simmons, purely by way of example.
Best of luck in your quest,
Larry
