Default I do not like or have graded cards

Am I completely alone on this?

I've collected vintage cards for years and always crack open any graded cards (then placing in a sleeved top loader) if ever purchased.



My reasons :

1) I don't like the large size and thickness of the slabs. It makes them difficult to store.

2) I don't like that the cards can not be touched if so desired.

3) I don't like the grading wording system. Example; owning a "poor" or "fair" Mickey Mantle.

4) I don't like the judging system. I often find that lower graded cards visually look better than higher graded cards.

5) Most importantly. I find that graded cards take away from the youthful enjoyment of the cards. It makes the cards into a business commodity instead of a family heirloom which is what they should be.


I'm curious on any members thoughts on my view? Thank you.
