Comments: In May, 2003 I purchased a SGC 70 M116 - love the card. In April, 2004 I upgraded to a PSA 7 with an eBay win from seller Frank Prisco (see Anson for details about a trade with Frank). In May, 2007 in order to diversify the collection I picked up a 1920 W516-1 PSA Authentic card via ebay and then the SGC 80 in January, 2010. But, to be honest with you - I don't like these two strip cards and really prefer the M116 which I still own. I happen to have another M116 - Hugh Duffy; so I have a dilemma in my mind - diversify or keep two of the same type? Here's the Hooper M116!

UPDATE: When it comes to finding upgrades for the collection, eBay just hasn't been very good to me over the past few years.  Unless I'm looking for a modern addition, I've had to rely mostly on auction houses.  In October, 2020 with COVID still in the air we've all had a lot more time to browse the internet.  I printed out my wantlist for fun and started searching each of my cards on eBay in hopes of finding a diamond in the rough.  I searched "W516 Hooper" and the site kicked back a couple of cards...a green SGC 3 and a blue PSA 9.  The green card has a BIN price of $99 while the blue one was listed with a BIN of $2500.  I offered $80 for the green example and the seller wouldn't budge off their asking price.  So, I buckled and clicked the BIN button - it was mine.  Maybe the other seller will eventually drop the price on the blue card down to something a little more reasonable... we'll see.
