Why pay for the "privilege" of making someone rich by grading your cards? After listening to all the BS associated with grading, the time, the money, the anxiety, the annoyances and irritations, why do it?

You know your cards better than some evaluator.

If for some reason I were to decide to sell any of my high-value cards; Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, DiMaggio, Williams, Mantle, etc., etc. etc., I would ask what any like card(s) would sell for, graded or otherwise. If someone doesn't buy it or them, guess what? I don't give a flying f!

Of course I keep my high value items either in a professional grade safe in my house or the bank safe deposit box.

My wife and daughter know what is in my collection, and like me, believe that grading is nothing more than a means to make someone rich.

I don't want my cards encased in ridiculous slabs. I don't care what someone else's opinion(s) of my cards are. If you want to buy them, you'll pay up, or take a walk.
