I've decided to free cards in my permanent collection from their prisons. |

But the real question is why? I know many on this board do not like graded cards, and I certainly understand the reasoning behind not getting a card graded in the first place. My question is, why "free" a card that has already been graded unless you are trying to get it regraded by another company in hopes of a higher grade. It seems to me that by taking the cards out of the slabs you are (1) risking damage to the card by just doing so; and (2)depending upon your storage methods, risking future damage to the card because it will likely be less protected after removal. Can anyone enlighten me? |

There isn't much risk to removing a card if you know how to do it right - if you are apprehensive about it just start off by trying to break out a few commons. At first, I was unsure so I just bought a few 60's Topps commons from each company and practiced breaking them out. |

And then there are those of us that are clumbsy oafs and need to protect the cards from ourselves. I only slab the best or rarest of my cards. |

Thanks for the explanations. Personally, I like the look of my cards in the GAI and SGC slabs (fortunately, I have not had any problems with GAI slabs as some others have mentioned in the past). Im not as crazy about the psa slabs - In fact, they are pretty ugly. However, it seems like a waste of money to break them out in order to get them regraded in a nicer slab so I live with it. |

I keep all of my cards in the Card Saver of the appropriate size - Card Saver II's for Topps size cards and smaller and Card Saver IV's for Exhibit cards and Hall of Fame Postcards/Perez Steeles. That way, they fit neatly in many of the storage boxes sold by dealers and can easily be sorted and handled. |

I jsut use a 4-pocket page--holds the cards tightly and lets me put them into an album to view. Overall, bindering the cards this way is a more efficient use of space for me given the configurations of my storage area. |

For anyone who uses binder pages, do you put the cards in card savers and penny sleeves first, or directly into the binders. Does anyone know whether any of the binder pages will hold sgc slabs? As I mentioned, I have some molded binder pages that hold psa/gai slabs but not sgc's. |

Apparently I need to read these posts a bit closer. I now realize that my question regarding sgc slabs was answered above. Nothing like attention to detail. |

I feel that I may be the lone man out on this one. I know that a ton of people store most of their cards in pages. Me, on the other hand, I put all of my vintage T and E cards in screw downs holders. For some reason I look at my beat up e93 common as a t206 Wagner and that it needs to be preserved for all eternity. Not the most cost effective way to handle things, but I tend to drop things from time to time and I have found this is the best way to prevent anything from hurting my precious cards:) |
