Rich Klein I discovered that Eddie Farrell, who had a 1933 Goudey Card attended Columbia University (my alman mater) for some post-grad courses. Since I am a bit of a completist -- I now need that 1933 Goudey card (or some other card of Farrell for my Columbia collection.
But; do I have to get a PSA or BVG 8 or SCD 88 or better card of Farrell to be happy -- NO, not for my collection -- but if I were doing that collection as an investment -- THEN, I would want the highly conditioned professionally graded card. Bruce is right, it's all about choices -- and when I go, no one may care the way I do about that collection -- so let ME enjoy what I want the way I want.
There is nothing wrong with Bruce's efforts -- and there is nothing wrong with collecting for fun (and maybe profit) either.

Rich
