Whilst Jim Crandall is quite accurate in his overall analysis of the PSA 8 Collector
population, we believe that the number of collectors with the resources and
dedication to limit their collecting to PSA 8 or higher pre World War II cards
is small, indeed.
For the past 4 years we have tracked the E Bay names of every winning bidder
on PSA 8 E, T and R cards, This includes T 204-T206 E93-E95, E 145
and R 305, R 328 R333 and R319-R321
If we assume that true collectors would have won at least 10 cards over said
four year period and nearly all PSA 8 collectors would also be active E Bay
bidders, we found only 52 different collectors who won 10 or more PSA 8 and
PSA 9 cards from January 2004 through July 2007.
In fact, the population of true collectors may be overstated because it included
a number of important dealers like Legacy Sports Cards and Steve Novella,
to name two.
