There’s a good reason a 10 sells so high, they are not the same as finding a needle in a haystack but rather finding a quick threading sewing needle in a haystack sized pile of dressmaker pins. It can be confusing, but definitely enjoy your cards and love them. My childhood Hendersons look the same and I thought them perfect and still wouldn’t move them.
Totally agree. I remember when the 10s were exploding and dug out my Ricky's as I thought, man, mine are mint! Sure enough, none would have been close to a 10....

Cool video...
