Humans like rarity and perfect cards are more rare especially from 40 years ago. God that hurts to type that 87 was almost 40 years ago. Back then 2025 might as well have been 2735 to me.

Geoff, Love this set. One of my favorites. I actually have the complete set in PSA 9/10 condition. I will most likely never be able to complete it in PSA 10 condition because of cards like Joe Berry Carroll. I can’t afford to put that type of money into commons, but that’s ok…I still love having a complete set graded in high condition. I actually am working on the 1986 set in PSA 9 and the 1988 set in PSA 10 condition. I have really enjoyed trying to piece these together. There are a couple of higher priced ones in the 1988 set that are commons, but because of low pop…they command high prices, but not nearly as high as the 1987 low pop ones.

Even high grades you’ll lose your money. Only way it makes any sense would be like what Jeff is doing having a big following and using it for content.

Their stuck in the past. Blah blah blah. Come on now. Then you praise PSA for being top dog and they screwed up half your order about a month ago with authentic grades instead of number grades. And the only reason you guys give for such high praise is that they pump out the most graded cards in a month. If their pumping out so many, you don't think the quality control aspect of things is taking a hit and tarnishing their reputation, especially when your order comes back with the wrong with authentic grades.
