The Top 200 Sportscards of All Time

After being back in the hobby for a year or so I joined PSA and received the above titled back as all new members do. I think it's fascinating but I was curious as to who out there may be getting close to having even half of them. I've picked up 21 of them so far, all in PSA 7, 8, and 9 and realize getting to even 50 is going to be VERY costly (especially if I don't want any graded lower than 7) Anyone close? If so, I'm envious.

Also nice to think of which cards MIGHT be on the list in the future, as Joe Orlando eluded that the list will probably change over time.

It's hard to imagine 1992 stadium club Brett Favre not on the list soon, or the 1998 sp authentic Peyton Manning if he ever wins the Super Bowl. The 2000 sp authentic Tom Brady is a possibility, I mean how many more Super Bowls can this guy win. Fifteen more years of consistency may make the 2001 bowman chrome Albert Pujols on the the best ever. Any thoughts?

Next on my watch list is the 1960 topps Carl Yastrzemski RC in a PSA 7. Wish me luck.

    As long as Joe doesn't bump any Ty Cobbs or Walter Johnsons (or even Buck Weavers) to make room for Tom Brady or Payton Manning. I guess the good thing about updating this book is that he can drop players that were important in the hobby for a (relatively) short time but didn't have long-term significance. Canseco and Bo Jackson, will they be dropped from future editions?

    BRM, nice choice of avatars. That pic of Johnny came from a 16x20 photo of him, Rose, Morgan and Perez posing in Tiger Stadium for the 1971 All-Star Game. All four placed large signatures over their likenesses (it's certified). Since the sigs are in blue Sharpie, I know they signed it in modern times rather than back in the day!

    Great item jrdolan. Hope you're not offended by me borrowing yours for now, but I'm new and not smart enough to come up with my own!!

    Hey, once images are uploaded to the avatar list, they're fair game. Besides, maybe you'll get in trouble when I go off the deep end on a rant

    Sorry, had to throw Don West into the avatar mix.
