To slab or not to slab?

Paul (t206collector),
I agree 100% on 2 of your 3 parts. I could care less which company graded them, at this time anyways. Although I really like the way T206's look in SGC slabs.
I like knowing my cards are protected, authentic and graded for value.
I'm not too lazy to know if a T206 is real or not. If I see raw in person and feel it authentic and not altered in anyway, I'll buy them and submit them to SGC.
If I buy on line, I like the fact that an expert looked at my card for me and formed the same opinion that I would have.
My opinion, and that's all it is, graded cards are the way to go.

Edited to add...If your going to sell slab, was mentioned in an above post. I got news for all of us. We can't take them with us, so unless you plan on being buried with them, one of our heirs is going to sell them, eventually. Weather its our sons or an heir 100 years from now. SO under those terms, it's not if they are going to sell, its just a matter of when. I have no sons and my daughters could care less about my cards. I won't be cold in the grave before they hit a major auction house.

A scared man can't gamble and a jealous man can't work.
