Not at all! I also think it's ridiculous. But sadly, for many collectors it's ONLY about the PSA grade. No longer does a card's eye appeal matter. But as someone who's been collecting cards long before professional grading came along, I will always prefer an ungraded card.
And besides, I've seen so much variation in PSA grades that I think the number assigned to a card is completely meaningless. I completely subscribe to the adage "Buy the card, not the holder." I gladly break all of my slabbed cards out of the holders anyway. And I can happily report that they fit much better into my set binders after they've been "emancipated."
