Ted Zanidakis100 % of my collection is RAW. And, that is the only
way I want it. I can "Touch....Feel....Caress....Smell"
all the cards of my sets (1888 - 1967). The "smell" is
an important factor, since I can't stand cardboard that
has a milldew odor.
I do acquire cards that are graded and if they are going
into my collection....I "de-plasticize" them. I collect for
the long-term; and, I am very skeptical of the long-term
effects of the graded card industry.
