1980s sports cards graded PSA 10 GEM and MS69 out of 70 1878 Morgan Silver Dollars are equally rare. There’s a market for graded sports cards and evidently people are willing to follow along with their wallet. I’d rather have a preistine card to remember my childhood than a stupid coin, but that’s just me.

There are only 4 graded gem mint, not 4 graded. If you know the issue you know there are usually print spots in the background. Centering is really tough.

Would I spend 1000 bucks? If I had it. Graded cards are for guys with a lot of money who like nice toys and like to have the highest graded copies that exist ofthings. Also for investors. Ungraded cards are for collectors who like cards because they like cards or the players. Average collectors don’t show off their new 1 dollar card to their buddies. Let me ask you this. If u made 300-400k a year (lots of people do) would you drive a civic or an accord or would you drive a BMW or mercedes or caddy? If you had 8 – 10k of disposable income a month and you were 35-40 and single would you buy the dollar copy or the finest one for 1k. If u make 400k what the heck is a grand. Your Amex platinum costs 500 a year or your centurion card 2500.

Again I don’t have a grand to drop on a card, by if I made serious coin I’d buy a lot of that stuff. I think it’s dumb to criticize the value on graded cards because it is what it is. Do u need a 3k suit? Do u need a 100k car? Do u need a flashy credit card? No, but it’s fun showing off.

Word!
