Default I give up on grading

Posted By: Scott Mosley

You might be surprised whats out there in peoples collections.

I have been collecting off and on for 30 years and just returned to the hobby after a long hiatus in the past year or so.

I'll give you my E-98 set which I just recently had graded as an example of whats still out there in peoples collections.

Yes, these cards are slabbed now but there are many others who do not and will not spend their money on a grading service and I can understand their viewpoint.

I ended up making a personal decision to have them graded not because I cared so much about the grades or increasing the possible sale value but because I felt the cards look good in the holders and would be better preserved in the slabs as opposed to top loaders or binder pages which I previously had them stored in.

I can't help but think that are plenty of other collectors out there with collections just as nice or nicer than mine. They just haven't come out of the woodwork yet and/or have no reason to get their cards graded.
