How are the grading companies doing?

Truthfully, When I send my cards in for grading, it is not about the grade, is is more about presentation. My collection is all SGC graded as the cards look nice in the holders and are protected. If I had to pay somebody for custom framing of each card and labeling, I would be paying way more than 10 dollars per card and I would not be able to pick up the cards and handle them. With the cards being graded, I can handle them and not have to worry about possibly damaging the cards by doing so. With all that said, it does make it difficult to attach to the spokes of my bicycle and the noise that they would make is not nearly as cool as the old baseball cards from the late 60's and early 70's.

I agree with what kmac says. I really just like having them protected and like the way they are presented. I do also like that graded cards hold value better. I feel that they do a pretty good job.
