These guys do it for the return not the idea of owning a great condition card. Last edited by ksabet; 07-15-2015 at 08:54 AM. |

Some do it because they are .05 behind someone else in the set registry and they have almost all 10's in their collection, and another 10 might put them over the top of the #1 guy on the list.

Yep. A lot of ego involved in those registry battles.

Wait, PSA doesn't give you a stipend if you're #1 on your registry set?

sorry
for the aside - but curious whether this is a serious comment?

It's all stupid to me, on various levels. And, as I say, that collectors don't care about something today doesn't mean they won't tomorrow-- so it seems to be dubious thing not to care about when investing lots of money.
But I'm an old school guy I guess. When I first heard someone describe a baseball card as 'Gem Mint' (a 1990 Topps Frank Thomas), I though he was making a joke. Last edited by drcy; 07-15-2015 at 12:30 PM. |
