Since the Catalogs are gone the best way to boost a card value is recognition by PSA so it becomes needed by master collectors

PSA used to rely on the Catalogs, print or on line, to recognize variations. The road to hobby recognition is just a little more chaotic these days.

The Nen has already obtained a niche hobby following. Glad I got one early. If Howard can get PSA to recognize the Nen it will be sought after by master as well as niche collectors and the value will go up more.

I know you have a great assortment of tough variations/variants in your collection. If we have a difference in this area I am not sure what it involves
Al, I was just having a bit of a laugh. Thought it was obvious. If the Nen is 'officially' recognized, then I sadly won't be able to afford it anymore, because prices will skyrocket. That's all.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
