Default Graded cards--do you collect them or not?

Posted By: Scott Whittenburg

Currently less than half of my collection is graded, but I'm slowly converting over to graded cards. It would be interesting to see what percentage of cards older than, say, 1969 are slabbed by someone. It seems that in the not too distant future all old, gradeable cards will be slabbed by someone, so this discussion will become mute. Oh yeh, some of you guys will never get them graded, but you'll pass on and the next guy will get them graded. What you'll eventually see is that cards that are slabbed aren't slabbed because they are worth more unslabbed, which will tell the buyer that the card's not worth much. The price differential between slabbed and unslabbed cards will get bigger and bigger until all cards worth grading will be graded.
