Well Mike. PSA's slabs have NOT been released as of yet and the one shown earlier on this thread is NOT the kind they will use for their photos. So 'we really don't know what they will look like yet.
Also...PSA will NOT be grading photos, only authenticating them.
Regarding cutting them out of their holders, my intention was to say that if you don't like they way they look, simply cut them out.
I'm also confused as earlier you said
"my collection is like a black hole...nothing ever leaves so I'm not worried about the resale value" so it shouldn't have any effect on you regardless. In closing, I would think that for you, it's best if you just buy raw photos and save yourself from the headaches.
Best, Jimmy
