I hear ya. You have to look out for # 1 without stepping in the #2...That's quite the trick nowadays.

Nice card Chuck. Why don't you crack that bad boy out of the holder and give the big F U to the establishment (TPG).

What bigger F U to the establishment would there be than to give away a treasure like that instead of reaping any benefits from the corporate fat cat's inflated market. I think perhaps I would be a natural choice for who to give it away to as I would never sell it.

Right now it's slated for one of the grandsons who showed interest in the cards on their visits here. Your a distant 2nd...

While many of you wish I would die sooner rather than later, my grandmother did live to 102...I have half my life left and many more midlife crisis's to come.

Haha I'll take second. If your grandson gets into basketball cards instead keep me in mind.

I'd be lyin if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind. I have never broken a plastic container and I don't want to start now.

Too many bad memories of ruining cards just trying to put them in a sleeve I can't imagine breaking the "slab". I know many crooks do it, but it's my belief that once a card is in that stupid container, it should just stay there.

It won't be, but what if the card was determined to be altered, with before pictures?

Then I'd say we'd be right on time.
