What is your cardboard dream?

Mintacular

Mine would be to own a full run of '52-75 Topps baseball sets in EXMT or better unaltered raw condition, housed in plastic sheets/binders. The commons-minor stars would be pretty well-centered (70/30 or better) with light to modest wear at worst. The stars would be psa or sgc graded 5-7.5 range with nice eye appeal.

In a perfect world, I would own unopened boxes, oddball cards, pre-war cards, psa 10 cards of stars of the 80s, significant vintage rookies of football, basketball, hockey cards...but these wouldn't be necessary.

To fund this dream, finding and reselling a T206 Wagner would be a great way to fund it. I would peruse a set or 2 on Sunday afternoons over a cold beer or 5 with a son, nephew, or close friend that appreciated them too, that would be cool...

I would settle for all PSA 10's for the Johnny Bench basic registry set.... No doubt I will be dreaming for a long.....long....time!

Right now it's to complete my 94 Pro Line auto set. I like my Cowboys backfield project but there is something rewarding about getting a nice ttm back.

What makes this difficult? Centering issues?

Centering, corners, print issues, supply of nice raw cards and the cost to acquire fresh material.

Do you have a scan of your best example? If so can you post it? I'd like to check it out.

The yellow doesn't scan very well or at least with the settings I have the scanner set to. A lot of these have some white mixed in on the right border and PSA may be wanting to see a perfect yellow copy. This is as nice of a copy as you can find.

My dream is also a goal - a hard one.

To have a complete set of 63F BB centered better than 55/45.

Unfortunately I don't check as regular as I should, so I may be missing some of the tough ones.

It took me years to find this one:

I believe I see the white you are referring to. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me it appears to start right across from his shoulder.

The corners look great on that card.

Still a great card and I'm sure your proud to own it.
