Finally a thread I can relate to. I have cracked every single graded card I have ever acquired. In my circle of collector friends, we all collect raw cards. I love having my cards in binders, in 9 pocket pages, where I can easily get to them... OJs , t206, t205, Goudey, Play Ball, Topps, Bowman, and many others...Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Foxx, Williams, Mantle, all of them. I don't stress out over them, and I don't care if any are fake. They all look, feel and smell real to me, and to everyone who has seen them. It is very much a fun hobby to me, not some business or investment. Obviously, there is a huge business or investment side to baseball cards. But it's just not my bag.
