A popular variant of Magic involves one your cards representing the "Commander" of your deck. It's not shuffled in; it spends the game either in play or off to the side.

Because it's not shuffled in, people will often keep their Commander in different holders. I've seen toploaders, one-touch recessed holders, beveled edge inch-thick Lucite screw-downs, etc. And yes, even graded cards.

Of course, there are some people who do goofy crap just to be different. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I see one stride over to the table with 60 graded cards, ready to play. To date, though, I haven't seen this. I'm sure it has happened, though.
