Hey Scott,
That's great advice, thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm Going to do something similar...stepping down a notch in grade (I actually like the visual appeal of slightly rounded corners, call me crazy!) but keeping them the the holders...it makes it easy to move things around, and I don't have to worry about anything when sharing my collection with relatives (some of the younger ones are prone to dropping things...)
I do plan on disposing of some higher grade examples...selling off ones I know are good, and getting the TPG to buy back ones that I can show are bleached.
Thanks,
Steve

Final benefit: sell off those slabs for big bucks and replace with cheap tobacco top loaders that allow you to easily access your cards and see their true beauty.
