Seems like a bizarre..

thing to do when PSA wasn't even conceived of in the late 80s. I guess the correct answer (as it normally is with any decade and sportscard collecting) is to hoard the undervalued vintage pieces that you could buy for a couple of bucks each and have 1000% ROI on average right now.

When did 9-card pages start getting popular? I started collecting with a pack in 1986 and was probably sleeving my 1989 cards. Investing in the card sleeving business would have been profitable.

I don't think there was any feasible way to envision that PSA/Registry collecting/exponential value increases based on PSA10 labels would ever exist, even in the "infinite universes" theory of human psychology.
