Card Grading Costs - what am I missing

[jingram058]

OMG, here we go again.

If you are collecting cards as an investment, worried about such things as wrinkles, trimming, etc., by all means have your cards graded. Not much of a fun hobby, unless you're one of the beautiful people who can throw around a lot of money without giving it a thought.

You can just collect cards, hold them in your hands, and discuss the history with others. That's what I do, and so do the others around here where I live. That's a real hobby, pretty much as it always was, except that even the raw cards cost A LOT more these days.

I like the discussion here on net54, and have bought the majority of my latest collection additions here, and some trades too.

But make no mistake. The vast majority here at net54, and the other forums too, are all about graded cards.

It just is what it is.
