Default To Grade, or not to Grade....that is the Question regarding T206 set(s)

I removed several of my plate scratch cards and when I sold the doubles I kept the ungraded examples and sold the graded if I had one.

Since 1999, I have been acquiring GRADED cards, the majority of which I have cracked open. I lost count years ago; however, somewhere
I have stashed away more than 1000 "flips".
Most of them are T206's. And if I have intentions of eventually selling (or trading) a given card, it stays in Graded plastic. If it's a "keeper"
of any significance, I pop the card out and insert it in Hi-Quality mylar.

I would guess that you have cracked open many, many more than 1000 graded cards.
