The Beauty of the Ungraded Card
I have a confession to make: I silently judged the old-timers that refuse to get their cards slabbed. I viewed them as fogies who refuse to change with the times. I mean, why not use something at your disposal that can protect your card and verify authenticity or if it has been altered???
And then I got this guy in the mail. I held it in my hand. I smelled it. I enjoyed the card in a way you simply cannot with the platic "tombs" as the old-timers refer to slabs. There really is something to holding history in your hands and feeling a 100 year old card. Fogies...you have a point. I am sorry that i judged you.
