I totally hear you there. My dad pulled the baseball cards out of packs in 1969 (except the Maris - that was given to him by a neighbor), so the chain of ownership strictly being within our family definitely adds sentimental value. I might raise hell if PSA ever tries to claim any of his cards are altered - lol. But the football is a different story. They were given to my dad in about 1970 by (I believe) the same neighbor, and he never cared for them much; they've quite literally not been taken out of the old Sears shoebox I found them in for 50 years (probably explains the conditions). Given that, and the fact that the two of us love baseball but he doesn't really care about football, I'm more willing to let some of those go.
