Then I bought his E102 Cobby in about fr-gd condition. I had that card a long time and loved it just the same as I do the other higher grade cards I have had. Personally, I would rather collect low grade cards that are presentable and nice looking. To each their own. Happy collecting!!

Leon and Jay, totally understand and don't really have any problem with each comment in the thread at all and feel the same way as many do about light old judge cards. That being said I just got a negative vibe from the comments and didn't even realize it was about a card I was selling until later. Honestly I was probably just in a grumpy mood or something but it seemed like people were almost putting down a card someone was fairly passionate about so it rubbed me the wrong way. Again, I feel the same way as most that responded I just think we get a little too negative and possibly a bit snobbish sometimes around here and it can be off-putting to others (I'm probably as guilty as anyone since I kinda can't stand T206 cards! )
