Default Just the facts......little advice

My tobacco cards are 85% graded, average grade 3.5, highest grade 7.5,
lowest grade 1. My HOFers are an odd group with most being higher than or equal to 5 or lower than or equal to 2. Eye appeal of many lower grade cards is a plus for me.

Advice - do what you want, but keep a little money for groceries and gas.
You'll make some mistakes as well. Mr. Merkle i purchased raw for less than Mr. Powers. SGC gave the Merkle a 60. The Powers card looks nice, but someone thought he needed a C in front of his chest protector to remember his position, which I actually didn't see when I bought him. I focused more on the paper loss on the back. Needless to say Mr. Powers will not make the trip to New Jersey. So it goes......

Enjoy the hobby.
