IMO, I believe the true collector will always focus on the card rather than the grade, if graded. They will probably always have a couple of card projects going at the same time. For example I have been trying to complete a T206 back run
of McGraw glove, but the final 2 are proving elusive, and a card run of George Sisler. The collector will rarely, if ever, submit a raw card he loves for grading. Instead of looking for comps from VCP, the collector will be looking at as many examples of a card he seeks to draw comparisons before he pulls the trigger. |

Or does a true collector sell at a below market price to avoid the taint of TPGs?

A true collector spends his waning years designing the mausoleum that will house his coffin, corpse, and collection of cards.

Does it count as entombed if your items are buried with you in a mausoleum?

A true collector doesn't worry about what others think about their method of collecting. They does what brings them the most enjoyment in the collecting. Oddly there's probably more than one way to do this...

Correct, . But you’d have trouble convincing some of these rubes that fact. Also the short answer to the op question is sometimes. Should it be no but is it sometimes do to silliness yes.
