Everything I have pre about 2006-2007 is raw and will stay raw (by numbers vast majority of my collection). More than 50% of what I've bought since is graded.
It took me a while to accept owning cards in holders that I can not open.. and I still love my raw cards, but it's highly unlikely I'd ever pop cards out that I paid graded prices for.. especially anything that's signed. Just me, but I can't stand the thought of eventually upgrading a given card, and selling the lesser for 20% less I paid because I cracked the holder.
