Yeah i see the same thing happen with modern cards (80's-present) too. I never understood why people pay to have a 5 dollar, or sometimes less, card slabbed. The grading fees cost more than the card. Sometimes you even see common cards or virtual no-names graded...Would I rather buy 10 raw NM 1992 topps Griffeys @ $1 each or have one NM graded at the same cost? I really don't get it
