Much of my collection was obtained prior to the existence of TPGs. Although I have never submitted a card for grading I do prefer to purchase cards graded in the PSA 6 range. I'm sure there are many beautiful upgraded cards in private collection that could be purchased for a song in comparison to graded versions. I know that there isn't a guarantee that graded cards haven't been tampered with prior to being stabbed. Nonetheless if I'm spending $300 or more for a card that I can't physically examine I prefer the sense of security even if its a false one. Here are some of my raw cards that I have owned for 35+ years. None would grade very high but they each have a story to tell which is most of the fun.
