I find that I really only buy graded cards because all of the work is done for me (I'm lazy
) but there are times when i get the card and i notice the problems with the various holders-smudges with SGC/small cracks with PSA/and scratched slabs with Beckett-then I have to send them in anyway to get them reholdered. I really like the clam shell cases made by Ultra Pro that hold PSA and Beckett graded cards-I wish they would make them for SGC too.
