As an "Old Schooler", I'm surprised there aren't more 4's and 5's.

Only three so far. From a person who started collecting seriously in the mid-seventies, I feel that because of the registry, it has changed the way we collect cards. In the old days, a $200 card was about a $200 card.

Today that $200 may be $4K if there are only three in the world with a high grade.

It's also misleading as it doesn't account for the "Ungraded cards". Not to mention the HUGE vlaue difference when it comes to a 8, 9 or 10 depending on what the registry says and which company gave out the grading.

I'm curious to see what others that haven't responded yet feel about this topic. Other "Old Schoolers". Mr. Behrans, Mr. Gaynor, Mr. Lemke, Ms. Vognar. Leon?
