Jason,
I don't do displays, but in similar fashion - most of my collection is kept in my bedroom closet - just like when I was a kid. After a long day if the world has been wearing on you, it's nice to know you can slip off into card-fantasy land, even if briefly - and forget about it all for a while. Slabs and high grades are nice if you can afford them, but like you are saying, off grades and rounded corners remind me of the "vintage" (back then we just said old) cards I had as a kid, so it's all good from my perspective. Anymore now that I only buy cards that I can afford, that comes with the peace of mind of knowing that I'll never have to sell them if I don't want to.
