If anyone cares to look about 70 posts up you will see that I believe I have struck the perfect balance. Almost 50/50 graded vs raw, but almost all of the value slabbed. I can smell, touch, and caress 1/2 of the little devils and still know that almost all of the value in my collection has been saved from my clumsy hands.....and authenticated by a 3rd party (99% SGC, the few others in other holders just came that way). This is a very easy discussion and is really so simple. If you like plastic- wonderful, you are a friend in collecting, if you like unslabbed- wonderful....you are a friend in the collecting world. I do think a lot of the old timers with all raw cards do have some condition issues they don't know about. Probably isn't any big deal to them either....it isn't to me. regards
