Am I the only one who buys a card without the forethought of getting it graded?

Although I do collect some cards in high grades, I have myriad cards in low to mid grade.

I am a klutz. I have young children. If I kept all/many of my cards raw -- I would absolutely damage many of them, albeit inadvertently. Grading helps protect my cards and doesn't hurt for things like resale value if/when I change some of my collecting priorities.
