I made the switch a few years ago when I purchased a couple of shoebox collections and realized that I was enjoying the vg cards even more than the slabbed high grade cards I had because they were in an easy to view album and I didn't have to stress out about the cost and condition of them. I also realized that I can own cards I always wanted on my budget if I went for 'well loved' specimens. Now I go for presentable lesser grade stuff, especially like the cards that are really nice except for a crease or a tiny bit of writing
