I have quite a few 1911s, 90% are not graded and will remain that way. The graded ones were already graded when I got them, I'm not going to crack them out, it would be a waste to me, as if I ever decide sell, the high grade ones are already there. I don't think they need to be graded, as they aren't really counterfeited from what I see, and the scarcity is more important to me than the condition. And most Zeenut collectors seem to be able to recognize the shape they are in without the grade. I am sure others think different, but that is how I collect the ones I do, for what it is worth.
