The condition of your monster

[wonkaticket]

For me it has always been about best looking card I can find regardless of grade. It’s more about uniformity I’ve tried to get all cards to look as sharp as I can without creases. I love that I have 4’s that look like my 7’s. In many cases I have put back higher graded cards for lesser graded cards because of eye appeal. I’m sure down the rod that will affect the sale and the buyer won’t care and would prefer the higher grade pint avg. but it’s how I’ve messed with this set.





Most of my set now has cards that range from NMMT,NM,EXMT, EX & VGEX. But if you had to do the avg. thing I guess I ould be in the EX+ range. How do you do the weighted avg. crap anyway?

John, your set is undeniably gorgeous. He'll of a job sir. When did you start building it?

Joe, started about 20+ years ago...but the main upgrading and swapping over the past 7-10 years I guess.

Thanks for the kind words.

Cheers,

John

I started off with the intent of building a set of cards that didn't include any true beaters. That evolved into getting cards that were graded at least sgc 30/PSA 2. Now I'm upgrading to PSA 3/SGC 40+. Sitting at 505/520 right now with an average grade of around 3.5/45. And I've spent WAY more than the $10-15k numbers mentioned earlier in this thread.

Several hundred cards to go..
ranging from PSA1-PSA4.. mostly 2s and 3s. I have 1 PSA5.

I haven't stopped to figure it, but I would bet I am at $10k on my low grade set....I have $1600 in the four cobbs alone, $585 in a Demmitt... $40-50 in a lot of the Southern Leaguers so that's 20% of it right there. Heck at $20 a card, you're looking at more than $10K.
