No argument that a Graded card in today's environment (especially Ebay) will sell for more $$$$
than it's naked counterpart. Unless, it's a private transaction where both buyer and seller fully
trust each other. And Dave, that's the way it was for many years from the 1970's to the mid-90's.
Now, I suspect a large number of Graded card collectors on this Forum are so conditioned in their
card buying habits, that they would be very suspect of any sharp looking naked card.

So, I would like to understand this.....1st..did you collect cards back in those years, prior to the
BB card Grading phenomena ?

2nd..If so, were you very meticulous or selective from whom you bought (or traded) cards with ?
