For Resale Purposes - Crack'em or Keep'em?

In a case where the cards may not be worth crossing over, would you rather have them in the "Off Brand" holders or raw?

I appreciate your time in advance!

Thanks

IMO low grade low value makes no sense in holders.

Raw. I like to hold old cards. There's something magical and transportive about holding vintage cardboard. I take my raw 1954 Topps Mays out on occasion and just hold it like I did when I was about 13.

Nothing makes sense in GMA holders.

Sure, but what value does any holder add to a 10 or 30 dollar card?

Hopefully they are authentic.

Keep 'em, they're protection during shipping if nothing else.

Crack them and re-submit to PSA.

For resale purposes, those cards will likely if not definitely get more money in the holders than if raw.

If you cracked and submitted to PSA, the grades would mostly be lower, but I think overall you would make more money for the lot, even deducting the PSA grading fees.

Lower grade PSA sells well, I would crack and send to them
