Making money is not among My interests in collecting cards. I don't acquire a card with a plan to sell it. The slabs are a huge pain in the butt for me, for storage purposes. And generally, I'd rather have a VG-Ex card than a nrMt card when it comes to old cards (I'm thinking pre 1920). I want to be able to hold a card in my hand without fear of dinging a pristine corner (I know the slab would prevent a ding, but it totally prevents holding the card in my hand).

I'm not saying that gathering cards with a thought to them having more value in the future is wrong... it's fine if that's what you wanna do. But that's not among my goals.


As for the restated purpose of the thread, yea, I missed that. I'm not a cracker who's gonna spend $250 to resubmit a card... I do think a few cards I've sold were graded by the gentleman I gave them to for his auction. He thought, rightly, that they'd sell for more if graded. So he got them graded. And I'm grateful for that. Thank you, Bill.
