Raywith the idea of "hiding" it. I know it depends on what type of collector you are. I collect for enjoyment, not investment. I like the look of a T206 beater more than a T206 that would grade a PSA8. I think by hiding it, you are hurting fellow collectors who are trying to learn more about the sets they collect. If I spent years collecting a set that I believed only had 220 cards in it and once I finshed, it was discovered years later that someone had another 5 cards that were one-of-a-kind and they purposely never shared that info with their colleagues, I'd be a little annoyed. I understand your point of view, its an investment, and I can see where you guys are coming from. I'm not saying its wrong... but from my end, I would see it as taking away from the joy of pre-war collecting.
