After I got over my "PSA slabs make me like my worthless cards more" disease, I took most of my modern cards out of the submission pile.
A 1996 Finest Refractor Rich Aurilia RC is a nice card for my collection. Paying $5 to get it graded just doesn't make sense to me anymore. I enjoy the card just fine w/o it being slabbed.
absolutely. in fact, i'd venture a guess that the large majority of what i've had slabbed has ultimately been sold or traded to fund other collecting habits, which includes the substitution or upgrading of raw card accumulations and sets....i think some here might agree that the choice not to grade is founded in the enjoyment of handling and viewing nice cards, no matter when they were manufactured.
