I switched back to raw cards and my happiness increased 1000%

After reading numerous posts on this site and after going back and forth for a long time between graded cards and raw cards, I switched back to raw cards and my happiness increased 1000%

Dont get me wrong graded cards are cool and all, but I felt so much better when I went back to the way I first started collecting and thats old school raw cards with no penny sleeve, not top loader, no albums, no 9 pocket pages, no caring about chasing a psa 10, not caring about the condition of cards, not caring about damaging them when I hold them, just having them in a a few shoeboxes and enjoying the simplicity of collecting baseball cards!

It a great feeling just to hold a stack of vintage cards and have that old vintage cardboard smell! I realized that sometimes going simpler is the best option!
