question concerning PSA bump ups for board member
Posted By: Andy
How is Davilliolo going to get any bumps? It's common knowledge he is a plastic purchaser and not a card purchaser. He buys holders not cards - so most of his stuff is probably relative crap for the grade. I dont suspect he will see many bumps given that. |

he can collect anything he wants. if he enjoys high grade cards why should he buy low grade? he has the means to buy whatever he wants. why do you care? i've seen some of his cards posted here and they were spectacular high grade examples of pre war cards. |

The first post had a lot of assumptions and I don't know that they are true. |

I have not seen Crandall's collection other than a handful of cards he posted here, which were spectacular. But I would imagine there is much more quality variance in terms of collector appeal in the average PSA 2 than PSA 8. In other words, 99.9% of 8s are pretty incredible looking cards. Some 2s look great and some look like crap. |

Whether or not he is a holder buyer he is about to have all 22,000 holders blessed whether they bump or not and whether they are altered or not. |

I would think Jim's cards are just as nice, pct wise as anyone elses. |

Jim VB, are you sure that around 50% will get the bump at the 8 level? I'm thinking that since there are far more 8's than 9's, the higher you go up the scale (8.1, 8.2, 8.3, etc), the less cards you will have. The bell curve! |

I would say that's a pretty unfair characterization of Jim's collecting. I don't know him but have read many of his posts and musings on this board - some even without agenda where he has shared some of his passion about his cards..... |

But wouldn't your bell curve theory also apply to the entire universe of PSA 8's? (More in the middle range, less on the extremes?) If so, half of them would be "movin' on up..." |

I was basing it on that dog 62 topps common that he bought for like 5k. That told me the number on the plastic holder was more important than the actual CARD itself, so odds are his cards are relative crap for the grade, therefore, minimal bumps probably. |

Not trying to attack anybody. Just trying to point out true collectors of cardboard should fare far better than the plastic number chasers. That's all. |

When you collect Registry sets occasionally you end up buying the holder and not the card in order to fill the hole. Every single Registry person does it, period. That being said, who doesn't sometimes pay more for a card than you should if you really really want it? |

For all we (and you) know that 62 you talk about may have been a really tuff card to find and he settled on it. |

No, you start with the entire population of a set. There are many 5's, quite a few 6's, some 7's, a few 8's, couple 9's, scarce with 10's. As you get higher, there are less cards. So there are many times more cards AROUND the 8 grade than the 9 grade. Therefore many more low 8's than high 8's. And even less low 9's. |

I have seen Jim's collection and he has many cards that are "high end". |

Andy - I think there's a problem with your logic. |
