There are a few cards I keep in. The most compelling is when you get a card that is graded higher than it would be if submitted again.
Same here. Crack and keep the flips...with the exception of a few I leave graded. For what I collect, I can usually buy raw or graded for about the same price, so I'm not losing any money by cracking. Higher dollar cards I leave graded.

That's what I was thinking too. It made me nervous just looking at it.
