I have. Like has been said here, my childhood cards looked like they fought in a world war. Beat to crap. I sorted, stacked, thumbed through, resorted, put them in number order, teams, favorite players, etc. etc. Long story short, my original cards have very high miles
But I did eventually grade the stuff that I thought would even remotely possibly grade PSA7 or better. (FTR, I strictly use PSA, but that is because most of what I grade is 70's and 80's football). I did end up with a few shockers here and there. But it was overall, money thrown out the window.
However, it got me re interested in cards and I started re collecting and buying/grading cards from the 80's. So a lot of money later, I now own one of the #1 sets in the PSA Registry, for what that's worth, LOL
