Default Grading break out question

All my cards are raw, authentic but raw. I like them that way. I have a 1956 Mantle 2.5 graded by SGC that I picked up recently. Always wanted a 56 I could afford. It's a nice card, looks better than the grade, but every time I look at it among the rest I have an urge to break it out to be uniform. What would you recommend ?
Thanks.

Very pretty. And those slabs are as easy to pop open as they come. I have a big crack out later day today I’m very excited about. Cannot imagine not touching/holding my cards. Slabs truly suck all the enjoyment out of a card for me.

Crack it out and throw away the slip. I’ve done it to thousands of cards and have no regrets. I collect cardboard, not corporate opinions.

It's your card, my friend. Do with it whatever you darn well please.

I do think that if the rest of your collection is raw, and it rankles you to no end to see this one in a slab, then it seems only logical to crack this one out.

I'm the opposite - virtually all of my stuff is slabbed, and very little is raw, with the only real exception being stuff that is worthless (so not worth grading) and stuff that is too big to fit into a slab.
