Me too, but my obsession has more to do with the technical nuances of grading, over and above having to have cards in any certain condition. I might buy vintage 5's or 3's from different graders to compare and contrast from different slab generations / eras. I think the history of grading itself is fascinating, and consider grading almost a sub-hobby of mine.
