Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant $hit to me.
--Public Enemy

Musical tastes definitely differ by region, race, ethnicity, social class, etc. Elvis and Public Enemy are both in the rock n roll HOF for very different reasons and constituencies. Debating the merits of each against the other is meaningless out of context. It isn't baseball stats. Listen to what you like.

As for the actual topic, I agree with most of what David P posted above. I am all about the rarity in what I collect. I don't get a buzz from a mainstream card the way I do from finding some obscure rarity.

Being an old fart at age 73, I fondly remember the days of Elvis and the Beatles and greatly enjoy listening to their music on Sirius-XM, but who or what is Public Enemy?

They look like gang members or thugs to me....I don't get out much and prefer it that way. And after watching them I am sticking to my story here and my mantra of the worst thing in America is Parenting....but let's get back to cards please..and back to topic, the hobby is becoming another investment vehicle it seems, especially in the highest graded slabs.

An interesting commentary on the younger generation(s)?

I won't belabor the 'Elvis' debate except to make a final point. Others may disagree as to his appropriate place in the pantheon of American pop music, but one thing is clear.

I've been to Elvis's birthplace, what's called a "shotgun shack" in East Tupelo. His family was dirt poor, trust me. For me, this makes his meteoric rise to the pinnacle of stardom all the more admirable.

Thank you, Val. My sentiments as well.

Having said that, I certainly respect others who have tastes that vary from mine. Agree with Adam -- pretty subjective stuff.

Me too. Most old school hip hop. Also 70s funk. But I listen to just about everything now and then. A lot of old Brazilian jazz lately. Astrud Gilberto, Jobim, etc. Even Henry Mancini and Alamo Schiffrin are on my play list.
