vorthian<< Granted, if the 1985 PSA 10 Topps McGwire rookie card drops from $5,000 to $5 then I will look like an idiot ... but at least I will still be able to say that I have the "BEST" such card in my collection. >>
What if another copy is centered better?

I would LOVE to be able to say this about a true vintage card (such as a PSA 10 Goudey #188 Babe Ruth card) ... so I guess I am looking forward to doing so in 50 years! >>
If I am not mistaken, Hal, you try to attain each HOF in the best condition? If you could exchange your entire quest/collection for one PSA 10 vintage card (of equal value) - would you do it? You would have the "BEST" and that seems to drive you, to a lesser extent.
