Al,

If you started with the major auctions and calculated how much of their dollar value is high end cards, you would get a very high percentage psa 8 and better.

Then if you calculated the total sales of the largest show dealers you would get a very high percentage psa 8 and better.

Even the hated ebay does a lot in psa 8 and better cards.

What am I missing in your opinion?

Barry,

I'm not your typical guy on this board--really don't care about making friends. I am on the board to learn more about vintage cards, exchange ideas and if I am lucky recently to galvanize change in the hobby when it comes to card alteration.

Dan,

No--but if you asked any of the major dealers or auction houses how important 8 and better cards are to them it would be the vast majority. You can only be a backbone in my opinion if you make up a majority of the hobby.
