I have been collecting for close to 40 years now and most of it was just collecting cards.
Grading became a problem for me when I bought a complete set of vintage cards from a fellow member on here. What he sent me was a set of NrMint or better cards. So I decided to get the entire set graded because of condition. Well I ended up with the #3 set. I struggled a lot with upgrading 7s, 8s, and 9s for a couple years. Finally I knew I needed to break up and sell the set. For me I decided paying hundreds of dollars for a card nobody could tell the difference in beside a number on a flip was stupid.
