Exactly. I don't think of early 80's baseball as junk wax, but it's commonly described as such. In my mind it's about 1986 up into the 90's and stops only when most 90's sets started offering SP's or...

Buy the card and not the grade movement

Yep.

About five years ago, I had a ‘49 Leaf Ted Williams in a PSA 2.5. Color was pack fresh, and the focus was dead on. It had some wrinkles, but nothing broke the surface. Corners had wear, but...

It's getting to where if I really want a card, and know it's within my price range - the number on the slab for mid- to lower grade isn't really even the first consideration anymore. We've all seen...

No, it's not. "Vintage" means different things in different contexts. It's not simply a matter of how old something is. The card hobby was light years different than it is now, in say - 1974. Cards...

Better looking card: 1953 Topps Mantle or 1956 Topps Mantle?

Due respect to an outstanding '53 effort and the unique Dvorak paintings - but '56 Topps is routinely ranked among the greatest sets ever issued.

For me, the infatuation with the '56 Mick started...
