My roomates brother was looking for a place to stay so I let him rent a room from me.  For the first months rent he gave me card collection.  It wasn't worth $400 dollars but I was helping him out so I didn't care. The one card he didn't want to give up was a 2005 Merrick Mint 23K Gold Embossed Autographed Tom Brady graded Gem mint 10 by WGC.  He seemed visibly shaken when I showed him there were 20+ copies on E-bay for $15.  

Ditto on that!

There was an original Leaf card company and they go WAY back in sports cards. But they eventually became the Donruss version for O-Pee-Chee in Canada for a while. The current Leaf company logo is exactly the same as the Leaf baseball logo from 1990 when Donruss took the brand continental instead of just being the Canadian version of Donruss cards. Look at the Leaf baseball cards from the early 1990's and that is the exact same logo the "NEW" Leaf is using. But the new Leaf company is based in Texas (as is Beckett and Panini). What's with the card industry flooding into Texas over the past decade?! Okay, Beckett has been there for quite a while, but it's still odd.

Yep for most questions, see the previous reply.

Definitely Texas seems to be a "hot spot" for cards.

Both Score and Pro Set had roots there 

Just look at the grading label! WCG doesn't grade something and then label it with the card name on their logo. Tsk tsk tsk. When will these people learn.
