Todd (nolemmings)Even though he might be able to buy the entire publication, think how much he saves on grading fees by having it already slabbed, er, fastened down, by AAA.
Also, he doesn't need (and maybe doesn't have) the skill of a surgeon to excise each "card" from the guide. Imagine the anguish if he inadvertently slices into Babe Ruth's nose trying to perform the delicate procedure needed to come up with a Ruth "card".
Finally, buying 'em from these impeccable sellers ensures that he need not wait on pins and needles wondering if his "raw" Reach cut-out will grade 8, 9, 10 or 11. The highly trained and impartial grading gurus at AAA/NASA/<insert bogus name here> provide instant piece of mind.
This guy's a genius on so many levels that it's pointless for us geeks on this board to even try and fathom his wisdom.
