Should HE take the trouble to get a bunch of HIS cards graded or not?
Sure, buy only graded cards from an unknown seller if you want to. But gimme a break-- if you're buying from Leon (or someone you know), why would you pay more for a graded example? Leon knows how to grade accurately. He's not going to call a G-VG card "Near Mint" or foist a reprint on anyone, or any of the absurd things said by previous posters--
Sorry, I guess I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Anyhow, Leon-- DON'T DO IT! It will make some of us less likely to buy your stuff. And the buyers can always do the slabbing themselves.
