I am in agreement on the fact that grading T201s permanently seals them in "open" position to the detriment of half the players who appear on the backs (like Cobb, Home Run Baker, etc). I guess the same would hold true for the 55 Topps Doubleheaders.
One possible defence is that the thin cardboard the T201s are printed on makes them relatively fragile, so if you`ve got some top condition ones it would be extremely tempting to get them graded just for the peace of mind and buy a reprint set for display....
Kind of robs them of their charm but given their values I can kind of understand it.
