2 part response

Part 1 is pretty simple - to keep slabbed or not to keep slabbed - that is the question - Quite simply from a "what's it worth perspective" definitely keep them slabbed. From a purely collector perspective - do what makes you happy! I suspect with a little searching you should be able to find nice raw specimens for less than the value of your graded "8's". These days the grading companies have gotten very stingy giving out 8's to vintage cards!

Part 2 - again a personal decision, but if you decide you want to empty the closet - get in touch as I would love an opportunity to discuss a purchase!

I am actively buying and selling vintage sports cards graded and raw. Feedback as a buyer: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=297262

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.
