Ah well ... I'm getting to the point where I might see if I can finish off the set with PSA 9s and then upgrade them over time if/when some more graded stuff comes onto the market (a la Steven and his Beta set).
I really should start buying raw stuff again... :-)
Nice grab on the auto Bastien - I am a sucker for cool ones like that. Of course, it would be better if you got it yourself
Lots of action on Steven's Unlimiteds - congrats to all who are helping out their sets (and Spacebaby too). I don't think there is much demand for Unlimiteds in PSA 9 unless they're rare or high value cards; I have sold off most of my un/common 9's for $2-3 each, and often I can't get that. For now I am keeping any I need for my set, but as I get more 10's I'll crack out my 9's and put them in CS1's to make space in my Roops box.
Michael - not a lot of people are grading Unlimited, and those that are tend to be collecting, so there is a definite shortage of cards to buy in PSA 10. Over time that will change - you just need to be patient. If you do decide to fill in gaps with 9's, let me know - I have a few you can have for shipping costs
Take it easy, Jared
