Personally, I hate slabs, grading, "the game" and a few other parts of our collecting hobby. I just like cards. I have been known to sell out my principles though, when trying to buy a card like a Rose RC, what with all the reprints/forgeries around.......simply because it increases the odds that the graders got it right, and I'm not getting ripped off. And I'm in a remote location, so usually have to depend on a scan, rather than inspect in person. I do bust it out of the slab as soon as I get it though.
