To Catalog or Not To Catalog Vintage Cards...

I use the guides as guides. One chief reason to buy them and read them is to find out what is out there, what don't I know about, or what don't I own. We all know the prices are just guides. Sometimes not even close to reality. Both low or high. But without the SCD, there are many cards I would be unaware of. I own unc. cards. I couldn't care less about the price. I pay what I think they are worth. If I had my way, every card would be cat. so that everyone could be aware of all the cards in existance. I have had unc, things graded. I have one being graded as I type this. I do it purely for protection purposes. I don't care what grade they give it. If in fact they grade it at all. I have spoken to some people on this forum about this subject. The result was that most didn't care that unc. things be cata. So I didn't bother to inform anyone. I wish that weren't the case. I would like to see every pre war card in the book. Modern items, that is a different matter.
