I'm trying to upgrade a set I've had for a while and am driving myself a little nuts trying to determine which cards are upgrades and which are not...so my question:

What is more desirable, a card with four sharp corners but a barely perceptible half inch hairline crease or a card with no crease but slight touches on the corners?

Thanks in advance.

What the heck...while I'm at it:

A card with perfect centering but slight corner wear, or slightly off center with sharp corners?

I can keep this up all day. I've got others...

An upgrade should be readily apparent to a typical sousaphone player. If not, it is merely an alternative, not an upgrade.

In other words, is CT an upgrade from TX, or is TX an upgrade from CT? The answer depends on other factors. Your answer may differ from mine.

However nearly all would consider a condo on a tropical island an upgrade from a condo in Burkina Faso. That’s why there are very few sousaphone players in Burkina Faso.

Hope this helps.

That helps, thanks. Sousaphone lessons are a bucket list item for my retirement years, so I will definitely NOT be moving to Burkina Faso. In the meantime...

Tropical Island > CT > TX

Why have there been several Pope Johns, several Pope Pauls, but not even a single Pope Ringo?

Isn't it contagious?

Why do NSACAR races go counter-clockwise (left turn), while the rest of us learn that it's okay to turn right on red?

Most folks are right-handed, which makes them right-eye dominant, which should make right turns easier.

...and while we're venturing into the NASCAR realm, why are there 43 cars in each race?
