    Wow! You'd never find a box like that in the Seattle area! I'm going through a box that I purchased off Ebay, listening to you and my head snapped at Wayne Gretzky and Brett Hull. Then you said George Brett and that was it! I had such a crush on George when I was 12 (ages me haha). I try to collect everything George ❤

      No doubt. I remember finding my grail card. Wayne Gretzky rookie. I KNEW I had it. Somewhere. I had the 10,000 ct boxes. My 2nd box BAM. Along with a Marcel Dionne rookie. Then 10 yrs later it was stolen. Advice to teens DONT TRUST ANYONE. A "friend" ripped me off.

    Hello. Can any one tell me when PSA allows 60/40 centering on the front of a PSA Gem 10 card? I've looked at hundreds of cards now from the early 80's to the present and couldn't find a card with worse than 55/45 centering in either direction on the front. This is in spite of the fact that PSA says in their grading description on their web site that the front centering standard is, "not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on front
