People can do whatever they want. Not saying there's a right and wrong, it just taps into the psychology of the collector....not wanting a scan of a card until you own it, even though it's sitting in a box and it never gets looked at.

Well, imo, knowing that you own it is a great enjoyment in itself.
Also, with most of my valuable cards being in a safety deposit box, referring to my FlickR link is far easier and less time consuming than pulling them out and placing them back in.
Keep in mind, before I receive my cards, they have been looked at carefully and thoroughly on line first and are also given the same attention and a once over when they are in hand and are being scanned.
I know I need to organize, catalog what I already have, namely my black back cards, but with me, anyways, I usually get right back in the chase.
