Read my signature. It says it all. I just collect the cards, and that is how it was when I was a kid. If I am risking a fortune, so what. I am in a hobby, not an investment brokerage.

As mentioned above I like raw cards but I think for future resale value slabs are the way to go especially with all the fake vintage cards starting to pop up in the hobby!

Who gives a good hoot about value and future resale? Talk to a card investment broker. They are all over this forum. I am in the minority. I am a collector, and I just like having the cards. If my cards are fake, so be it, I like them anyway. But I seriously do no think they are.

Raw, because if graded, my ability to write an insult on the card is instantly lost.

it really depends for me. I prefer my higher dollar cards to be graded so they are ready to sell if I decide to. It bugs me a little when I peruse my babe ruth/ty cobb collection and 95% of them are graded and fit all nice in their storage box...then there are some raw cards that either noone will grade or I havent bothered/wanted to pay the price...and sometimes the top loaders stick to the slabs and i freak out thinking I lost them!!
Then I have binders full of cards from early 20th c-present that I prefer being able to handle and would likely never get sold or would be sold raw. thats my preference

In the Raw
Some cards, especially some lower grade ones, tell stories. ....similar to Brian's above...
I think this back is much better than a blank one. I see absolutely no reason to get it graded.

I really like having a selection of both, at the shows raw cards do much better as the price is less and you can really look at the cards. Online it's really mixed and do better with graded depending on the card. There seems to be a switch with a lot of dealers having raw cards which is a good option for everyone!
Good luck finding stuff everyone this summer! Jimmy

I have both raw and graded, but I prefer graded (SGC). The card in the slab with the black insert just looks cooler to me.
