Some people want the best, I just want a nice looking card. I'll take the cash overflow and use it to buy other nice looking cards.
This sentiment resonates with me. Even more so because I'm not even sure that 10s are actually the "best". If you were to take 100 late vintage / early modern 10s, break even open and re-grade them, how many would re-grade as a 10? It's another one of those areas of the hobby where suspension of disbelief is required.
