I'm with Dan on this one. It may be safer to buy cards with the advent of third-party grading, but it is certainly less fun. And with key vintage cards typically selling in the four-figure and five-figure range, a lot of collectors will be forced to drop out and it will become a leisure activity of the rich only. That's where it is heading, and you can thank slabbed cards for leading the hobby in that direction. Good for those who have, bad for those who are trying to buy and always get outbid by the same people.
