Gary - Dead on brother. I've been collecting cards for 30 years, I know what a card is worth irregardless of that stupid number on the flip. If there's a chance Ill resell I will not bust it out simply b/c it moves easier, thats just the way it is with all the guys collecting that have yet to get their hands dirty. I dislike slabs and smile every time I free a card...they are for kids!
Its amazing the difference in how many times Ive received a slabbed card and busted it open to be disappointed in what the scan/slab hide vs the raw card. Rarely am I disappointed in a raw card purchase via internet. Scott, calling us selfish is simply ignorant as you don't understand the reasoning of our collecting. I'll be damned if I ever spent 1-flippin cent on a TPG and thats ignorant as well but my personal beliefs are of higher priority and TPG's do not make me fell like a kid with cards. Its all about where you're coming from. So good for all those that appreciate slabs as well for those that love their raw cards...I love slabs too as they bust open!
