I think Bagwell said it well...if you can get a 10 at a reasonable price, it's usually a good idea to grab it, particularly of a RC....but that means stomaching the purchase price to begin with.

Yes, I have had fun buying some 80s cards graded 9. Like I said in the OP, it is just fun and usually inexpensive. In a real departure for me, I actually purchased a couple of 10s. I have never even contemplated that before. It doesn't hurt that I genuinely like the cards that I bought...even though I bought with an eye toward the long-term, there was still a part of me that just likes them that much. The real challenge for me now is to not ruin my 80s fun by thinking I need more 10s of other cards. I have been having inexpensive, nostalgic fun.
