90% of my collection is natural. Im mostly into 50s 60s 70s Topps, Bowman. Im in my 30s, and had to learn and study about those issued cards for a few years, and I pretty much know how, when, and if to let go of my money for those cards. Over the past couple years, I have dabbled in pre war, obviously a different beast. I am still learning, and thanks largely to net54, I have vastly increased my knowledge on pre war type issues, their value, scarcity, etc.
But for collecting, buying early 20th century cardboard, I do often seek refuge in the slabs. Especially if I am considering dropping a couple hundred bucks. I dont value the grade, I value authenticity for my purchase. At least until (God willing) I learn enough to be as comfortable buying natural pre war as I currently do with post war.
