I absolutely don't collect them for an investment. I collect them because I love baseball, I love the history, I love showing them off, and I love the stories behind many of the players. With that being said, I collect ONLY raw cards with nice eye appeal on the fronts. If I buy one that is slabbed, I immediately take it out. If they happen to have paper loss, or are trimmed, or have a crease, or a minor pin hole, or were altered, or have writing/stamp marks on them, or even clipped corners, so be it!!
