And I think the value is the actual slab, for better or for worse.

Personally, I think the cards look really cool in those tiny tobacco top-loaders, and that's where all my 'keepers' end up. But slabs look good also.
I admit I'm one that (so far) has only bought graded (SGC) cards. For one I have a display case that is made for the holders, I also like the fact it displays year, name and back etc.

Now having said that, I'm not unwilling to buy "raw" cards but I have a hard time spending the same amount of $$$ (or more) on a EX raw card for something that might come back as trimmed, alt. etc if it was sent in. I guess it's just more piece of mind??? but what do I know..
