Authentication and grading feeds an egotistic, OCD, selfish urge among many collectors to have the best judged version of something. As a collector, I love the rush of having the highest graded or a very highly graded anything. The idea that my card is a 1 or 1 or one of the nicest 10 or 20 or 50 of something is a real turn on, pardon the terminology, to me as a collector. Shallow? I am sure many would say so. Different strokes for different folks as they say. I have ungraded. I have beaters. And I have 1 of 1s and 1 of 3s. There is no way the unslabbed beater is as cool to me as the stunning 1 of 1 or 1 of 3. Sorry. That's what museums are for. The best existing version of something.
Not an argument for altering cards. . . . Last edited by Snapolit1; 09-20-2023 at 06:49 PM.
