Vorthian and I think alike. I only buy graded cards, because I just know that if and when I ever send in an ungraded card for grading ... I will end up disappointed. If it is true that the "big boys" get favorable grading, then there is no way I will ever get lucky with my ungraded cards.

Simply put: I get my cards graded so that my son will know that they are REAL when I leave them to him, and his son will know the same, and then his son, and so on and so on. I am collecting for ME, not the rest of the World, so authenticity on the old vintage cards is what I am looking for more than the grade itself. Converesely, on my modern cards, I only want the best graded cards, because otherwise my card will be no different than the two billion other ones in circulation just like it.
