I am with Al on this one. I have an extensive post-war, and growing pre-war, collection and the number of slabbed cards that I own is less than 20. I prefer the eye appeal on cards and don't get hung up if one or more of the corners is a little worn. I do try to avoid damaged cards (holes, creases, markings, etc.) but as I pursue increasingly older cards I almost prefer that they look the part. For example I love the 1940 Play Ball cards that have yellowed with age.
