I refuse to be a slave to SGC, PSA, REACH, Pro, or any other grader.
I buy strictly for the card; I get them slabbed only for protection and presentation purposes (I prefer SGC because the slabs look much sharper). I buy cards whether they're beaters or not (I know many collectors buy based on whether they are high grade or not). I buy cards because I REALLY, REALLY like them; even with the funky stamps on the back. I buy cards because they're nostalgic and represent an era of sports where less scientific involvement existed (steroids, sports science, Nike, Gatorade, etc) and players played the game because they enjoyed it. I buy cards because partly, it's a great hobby. In other words, I BUY THE CARD, NOT THE SLAB.
