<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dima, post: 25361034, member: 18037&quot;]I&#039;ve been collecting on and off for ~30 years and during that time as my budget and interests evolved, so too did my collection.&nbsp; I tend to categorize it into three buckets: my childhood collection (consisting of mostly 2x2s pulled from circulation and LCS); my college collection (consisting of mostly lower end PCGS); and my current collection.&nbsp; I tend to highlight and share pictures only from the latter as I wrapped my 20th century type sets (<a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/56424" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/56424" rel="nofollow">non-gold</a> and <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/109033" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/109033" rel="nofollow">gold</a>) and am working on my <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/334696" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/334696" rel="nofollow">toned Franklin set</a> and my <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/233832" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset/233832" rel="nofollow">classic commemoratives set</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I rarely pull back the curtain to show off some of my exceptionally cool, older stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Toward the tail end of of &#039;22, I had a few PCGS grading vouchers remaining and instead of letting them go to waste, explored my childhood collection for a few nicer pieces to submit.&nbsp; These hold a very special place in my collection.&nbsp; They may not be ultra rare or overly expensive, but their sentimentality is unparalleled.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1622536[/ATTACH]</p><p>1858; Large letters; VG details; environmental damage</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1622537[/ATTACH]</p><p>1909 VDB; AU58BN</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1622539[/ATTACH]</p><p>1957; PR66</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1622538[/ATTACH]</p><p>1893; AU55</p><p><br /></p><p>And then I remembered one of my favorite random impulse buys from college:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1622540[/ATTACH]</p><p>1853; XF40BN; Newcomb 30 (Originally, label didn&#039;t include variety.&nbsp; Few years ago, when PCGS had variety attribution special, I&#039;d resubmitted for variety attribution.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
