leonI like most of my more valuable cards to be inspected by SGC if I can. That way I know another set of eyes (maybe not perfect) has deemed the card untainted. I almost bought a 20k card one time, raw, sent it to SGC and they found some glue on a small tear...which would decrease the value somewhat. I like the protection and look of their holders too. With all of that being said there is nothing like the smell of old cardboard in the morning !! I do have quite a few cards that are naked and they will remain that way for a long time. There is no better way to get to know characteristics of cards than handling them, imho......regards
