I estimate my collection at around 45,000 cards, of which about 25 are graded. I'm not morally opposed to them but they just don't interest me so I don't collect them. I've got a PSA 10 Fleer Flair Alex Rodriguez rookie card which is not nearly as memorable to me as my 1966 Johnny Stephenson card with a brown stain from a punk burn which makes it look like he crapped his pants. |

I have this exact Arod card, same PSA 10. It is stocked away in my safe, but I enjoy staring at my off-center, stained, pen-marked 1955 Topps Jackie Robinson, which is prominently displayed in my home office. And, even if this Arod card is worth $10,000 20 years from now (yah, right), I will still prefer my 1948 PSA 3 Jackie Robinson Leaf rookie that looks a lot like your Stephenson.  My interest in the hobby has waned, mainly because of lack of time. I still love to peruse my 100,000+ card collection, though. Maybe you and I are due for a baseball card trade?
