No disrespect taken. I've actually gotten asked that before.
I usually free all graded cards and have almost none in my personal collection but I am a very sentimental collector. The 59 Koufax was given to me by my wife when she and I were dating. She knew nothing of cards or players but her mother grew up a Brooklyn Dodger fan and knew the name Koufax. She researched it and decided that it would be safer to buy a graded card so she wouldn't get taken.
After she gave it to me and told of all the work and research she did to get the perfect card for me there was no way I could ever bust it out of it's graded case.
I know it looks a bit odd and out of place but when I look at the display it pops out to me and reminds me of her.
Btw, the picture in my avatar is all cards that she has given me over the years. I'm blessed to have her... Oh yeah, she gave me a Koufax autographed baseball for this past Chistmas as well. She is truly amazing.
