Money-wise, collecting-wise, it was so much easier when I only collected cards in their natural state. Trading was easier, negotiating with sellers at shows was easier, and on and on it goes. Now that a huge percentage of my cards are in plastic prisons (mainly to make them easily sellable in the future), everything has changed. Now it's all about past sales prices, VCP or whatever, and the actual state of the card you're looking to buy doesn't seem to ever come into play. For instance, how many graded cards on eBay have the sellers actually describing the various pros and cons of the card up for auction? Umm...0%?? The listing will simply say "(enter year, brand, number and player's name here) PSA 8!! L@@K!!!!!!!!!!" and no further information.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
