I sold off a bunch of my newer, modern stuff and picked up my first graded cards about a week ago. Now I'm hooked. I find that it's so much easier to move vintage graded. Heck, I'm having trouble moving my ungraded Ex or better stuff (want to move it and buy vintage graded).

I find that I like the 5-6 range with focus on eye appeal. This was my first pickup. I paid a whole lot for it ($375 including tax) at the LCS, but I've been able to pick up a few other random vintage graded, and now I have 6 graded cards.

When considering graded, I always thought I'd like the look of SGC with the black frames. But I got one in hand, and I don't like it. Plus, I'm very CDO. So I want everything the same (PSA).

Anyway, I love vintage and collecting mid-grade stuff.

Nice Splendid Splinter. One that is on my watch list to eventually add. Congrats!
