I've yet to sell a liberated card.
I acknowledge that a slabbed/graded card is easier to sell, than the identical card ungraded. But I'm not buying cards for resale. I buy a card because of who the player is, what he did; or because it is part of a series or set I'm attempting to complete; or because it is a type of card of which I don't have an example.
So I break 'em out. And from there they go into sheets in an archive box, or they're stacked in small boxes that are stacked into safety deposit boxes. And some of the newer stuff ends up in wooden cigar boxes after a while stacked on a bookshelf.
I'd think that if you're going to resell a card, you'd want to leave it in the holder, unless you were confident that the card would grade higher.
I might auction off on eBay a pile of plastic bits and little PSA and GAI inserts... no telling what some scammer could do whith those and some glue.
