Would you rather?

For $5,000, which of these two would you rather have? The Perfect OJ 10? Or the Unitas rookie? (And then keep this going. Post two equally-priced cards and let's see which people prefer.)

Unitas for sure

mexpo75

Unitas without a doubt, but not $5000 for a PSA 6

LarkinCollector

How about $25 or $500 for the same card in the same PSA grade?

You can get a Unitas 7 for under 5k

I see where you are going with this...

Me. Lots of football collectors.

Ok, a Barkley rookie PSA 6 or a Robert Parrish rookie PSA 8?

LarkinCollector

Head says Parish would be the wiser choice, but I'd personally rather have the Barkley as a PHX and golf guy.

I would have a hard time dropping $450 on a card centered as poorly as that Barkley. The Parrish has better eye appeal.

Absolutely, and I just wouldn't drop that much on either. Barkley is at least still somewhat relevant with his announcing, Parish is a mostly forgotten star.

Parish, and not because I’m a Celtics guy. I would never pay good money for a 1980s PSA 6. Older card with better grade, please.

Larkin...I lived in Scottsdale for 20 years...loved AZ!

PSA 7 Unitas all day long. I remember a die hard Kellogg glossy collector saying the cards, even in holders, have a tendency to crack if not stored correctly.
