Card 1 Art Fromme

  The first graded PSA card that goes into the books is a Piedmont Art Fromme of the Cincinnati Reds. I got this PSA graded VG-3 card for $27.09. I have found that most cards are in the following price range (for common cards):

PSA-1  $18-30
PSA-2  $20-35
PSA-3  $27-45
PSA-4  $45-65

The Very Good PSA-3 or Good PSA-2 seems to be about the sweet spot for affordability. I would love to be able to afford higher quality cards but the 2s and 3s have good eye appeal and are somewhat affordable. Collecting 520 cards will be very difficult at this price point but going the route of higher quality cards would be almost impossible.
