  Cracking out of grading holders; restoring defects; techniques to improve appearance and then getting graded all over again?

  Sure glad none of that happens in the coin hobby/business.

  If that seems ridiculous, the games we play seem equally silly to friends & family.

  It's no different than detailing a car or staging a house before selling, I suppose.

  Depends on who/what the cardboard features. I like old ballpayers no one alive has seen play in person.

  Yeah. I wouldn't want the Mona Lisa. If I'm going to collect canvas, it should be Air Jordan's.
