Default In the Raw

Some cards, especially some lower grade ones, tell stories. ....similar to Brian's above...

I think this back is much better than a blank one. I see absolutely no reason to get it graded.

I really like having a selection of both, at the shows raw cards do much better as the price is less and you can really look at the cards. Online it's really mixed and do better with graded depending on the card. There seems to be a switch with a lot of dealers having raw cards which is a good option for everyone!

Good luck finding stuff everyone this summer!

I have both raw and graded, but I prefer graded (SGC). The card in the slab with the black insert just looks cooler to me.

I prefer graded cards for a few reasons. I like the protection it provides. I enjoy trading cards and typically it is easier to trade and determine value when the card is graded. The last reason is that when I pass away, I think having graded cards makes it easier on my loved ones.

Graded. Eye appeal still matters and I don't mind low grade, but with graded it is easier to handle for insurance purposes vs raw it gets a lot more complicated on establishing a value if something happens. Prices of raw are still compared on a grading scale anyway.

I think as much as us old farts (me included) resist it, graded cards are the future of the vintage card hobby!

Your point about graded cards being easier on your loved ones makes complete sense for sure.....
