Those are my reasons for owning that particular card in "10". Sorry I ruffled feathers.
If something makes you happy why not go for it? Congrats on a great looking card. Personally, my comments are only for sake of discussion. Some (maybe most) registry collectors are super passionate about collecting. It's a great thing and I think it's great for the hobby. And I wouldn't rail to much on high grade collectors with this....Every time I look at this one, shown 143 times in the last 3 months, I absolutely love it.

Default like Wow!

Leon, Super card! Looks like that 7 is for sure undergraded.

Thinking about it, I am sure there are many fully worthy 10's out there. And like people have said, there are good reasons for going after 10's besides ego, registry and sets. There is pride and passion in owning the best. On the investing side, good chance 10's have outperformed the rest of the market, so kudo's to the savvy investor for having 10's in their collection.

So, how accurate are the grading companies numbers and population report which we read on every auction houses description. So, if PSA regrades a card or someone flips it then does PSA adjust the population number?

Unfortunately, many may not realize the real supply is less than the pop reports indicate. In the cases of some very in-demand cards especially, the true population may be much less in reality than the reports. This is due to the prevalence of the crack and resubmit game. I know of single cards that have been cracked, graded, cracked again, ten or so times. That means ten or so "phantoms" in the pop reports. I take this into consideration when shopping. Meaning that between examples locked up in collections and the phantoms, the true available supply may be much less than one would think at first blush.

right it would be a problem if there were much more of the cards out there that are graded..the fact there are less than the amount stated is the better situation of the 2 when it comes to resell

Can you imagine if every significant card had its grading history on it people would be shocked. My favorite stories are those where in addition to wildly divergent grades, they are rejected a couple of times along the way to the final slab.

Leon, I simply can't imagine a nicer looking pre-war card!

Great card Leon, but couldn't you show the pin holed Pinkerton Cobb just one more time for old times sake

JoeT - Thanks.... I remember the night I won it (the Young). I was mesmerized by it and went for the hail Mary. Fortunately the stars aligned as Heritage had my collection and was about to auction to it, so to paraphrase Chris I. "Sure Leon, spend all you want to, you have good credit".....

I even had this card on one of the Net54baseball T shirts before I got this particular card.

Dave- Someone got a great deal on a great card...This T5 is so nice...... (not mine anymore)

What about the e90-1 Young do you like so much? Interesting choice considering all the amazing cards that you have owned.

I guess it's the bright red background. Maybe because on the E90-1 Young portrait cards, I always try to find their problem(s) keeping them from greatness when I see them. They are quite scarce in high grade (5 and up) but not so much in regular conditions (4 and less). On this particular one my eyes search for an issue and they can't find one. Of course it's not perfect but the centering, focus, color, corners etc...are all fairly spot on, and it's the highest graded in the hobby, though that is beside the point. There are a few handfuls of cards I have always thought were great representatives of prewar cards and this one is near the top. The T205 Cobb, M101-4 Ruth (never had one), Goudey 144 Ruth, T3 Cobb....(I could go on) all stalwarts to me.

I should add that it is far and away my favorite card from the series, and we all know it's the major early caramel set, as T206 is to early tobacco sets.

How could any serious collector not love the E90-1 Young Boston? Among major HOF'ers in the set I feel it is by far the most attractive card. What sort of interests me is the sheer unattractiveness of the other Cy in the set, his Cleveland card, which is also found in a couple of other E-card sets, such as the E92. All it looks like to me is a generic action shot of a baseball pitcher. For a while, believe it or not, the SMR showed the Cleveland copy as more expensive than the Boston. What were they thinking? And Leon if you are going to do any estate planning in the near future, you know Cy will always be welcomed and nutured by me. John
