Asthetics aside
I will expand on a previous post in sharing my experience.
The RULE - Cards in older holders have been graded less stringently than cards in current holders by both SGC and PSA.
The PROBLEM - The RULE frequently doesn't apply! I have seen plenty of cards that would likely grade the same (or better) in old holders and others that would likely grade worse (if resubmitted) in new holders.
The SOLUTION - The slab should be a starting point - then it's buy the card, not the holder!
