Thank you for the replies, its good to get confirmation of what I was just guessing about. Grading the HOF'ers etc. would seem to be the logical way to go if sending them in, my dilemma does come with the less valuable pins. The value on this issue is nominal in comparison to most "set/series" issued items of the era, so I wondered if there would be those who preferred them loose.
To me they seem to be treated like a hybrid of cards and memorabilia. I would think the card side would want the slab to coordinate/incorporate in with their graded cards and the memorabilia side would want something they can hold and display without a computer flip twice the size of the object. I wanted to see if anyone else thought this way.
I'm guessing the white paper backs are the second production run of these? I would have to look again, but I think all the large letter variations in the group have white. I've never given these much thought before because they are "just P2 pins", but having a stash of really nice ones like these has me appreciating them more.

Greg, here are mine. I like the old PSA holder. Does anyone know how much they charge to grade a pin?

Joe, for some reason I like the new holder better, it seems to make the pin look like it's "locked" in and seems to highlight it more. The one thing that I don't like about this set are the large letter variations. Those pins look generic to me.

I'm a pin guy, and I prefer mine unslabbed. Much better for display, IMO. But to sell, as I said, I think grading the HOFs would be worth it. Just tried to upload a picture of my pin display, but the upload failed, I have no idea why. It's just an ordinary jpeg from my camera, I can send in emails no problem.

My P2 set is about 75% graded, purchased them pin by pin that way. No hurry to get the rest graded.
I have the Domino Disc set all ungraded and displayed together in a large shadow box because of the different colors and I prefer them that way. They have more eye appeal than the sepia P2s....
