I respect both views on graded vs raw.
A few years back somebody on this forum used the term "Free Range Cardboard" for raw cards. This is where I am at.
After attending the National this past week and watching many collectors fill their want lists, ungraded is alive and well.
When time comes to make a big ticket purchase to complete one of my sets (I'm thinking of you Mr 1967 Seaver) I may go the graded route.
I am a set collector who loves his binders. When the time comes for me to pass on, swim with the fishes, go to the Horizontal Hilton do the lawn limbo my family will have instructions on how to dispose of my sets probably consignment to a AH like Huggins and Scott, an AH that caters to the average collector because that is basically what I am, Mr average.
