my thoughts exactly.... but i'm a fan of graded cards for aesthetic reasons

Default Crackem!

Hi Larry

Crackem out, you won't regret it. I have been collecting the t206 set for a few years now and almost all of them are raw. Actually most of the cards I buy are graded and then I crack them out. I then place them into a penny sleeve, then into a T size top loader and finally into a 9-page ultra sheet, then into a binder.

They look incredible all together in the binder and to tell you the truth I couldn't imagine the extra added bulk of graded card cases, that would be ridiculous for the t206 set! Besides they really do look amazing when you thumb through the pages!

If low grade, I would break them out of their slabs.

Save the slips from the slabs to go with the card. I bought a card a couple months ago and as a surprise it came with a slip from an SGC slab. Probably the right one too, the card was a 10 and looks it. But still nice to know it got a number and I suppose could be reslabbed if I wanted.

I've ony sent a handful of cards for grading, it was fun, and I'll probably send a few more. But I can't see doing it for stuff that will get 1s and 2s. I'm too lazy to crack out the low grade card I bought, but I guess if I had a bunch of them the bulk might matter.

I have cracked a bunch, go for it.

I use 15-pocket sheets designed for the tobacco cards, and they look great.
