I crack slabs for cards I store in binders. I generally prefer to put a few hundred low-mid grade raw cards into a binder than to stack larger graded holders in boxes. I'll buy a card raw or graded, but many (maybe even the majority of) sellers sell graded cards. Its only the card I'm after, regardless of what it is stored in.

It screws up the pop reports which are probably nowhere near correct anyway.

I would guess that the pop reports are skewed more up by the crack-and-resubmit game players than by the raw card collectors.

You're taking greater risk at the card getting harmed.

Probably. However, we've seen examples of cards getting damaged in holders (I believe most were SGC with the black insert). And the holder won't stop UV damage to those who enjoy displaying cards in sunlit rooms.

And whomever submitted it spent quite a decent chunk of change getting it slabbed.

Agreed. They could've spent that slab money on more cards!
