Comments: I first purchased a PSA 2 1933 Goudey. Then in February, 2003 I won a 1933 Goudey PSA 5 on eBay - sold it on my website for a nice profit in July, 2003 (along with a 1933 Goudey Goslin PSA 5 and 1933 Goudey Terry PSA 8). I then picked up a PSA 4 example with another eBay win in August, 2003 which also sold on my site. I won another copy, a PSA 5, in December, 2003. In November, 2005 I swapped out the Goudey for a World Wide Gum example when I purchased a PSA 6 from seller and hobby friend King Yao via the Net54 chatroom. I've missed out on a few chances to upgrade - losing out on the same SGC 84 example that's been offered twice (2009, 2010) and a PSA 8 card in a 2008 Mastro auction. Will keep trying…

UPDATE: On October 13, 2020 I had another shot at a PSA 8 listed on eBay:

But, my bid didn't do it....the card ended up selling for $1634.99. CRAP!!!
