i don't understand people who say they won't buy a card in a XXXX holder because of how it looks. if you really like/need the card, buy it an TAKE IT OUT OF THE HOLDER.

it's like not buying a beautiful painting you love because you hate the frame.

It's more like not buying a painting where the frame is a big piece of the value because you don't like the frame. (Some people collect frames, and some can be around nice but not all that valuable paintings)

Last I checked a slab was a 4 cent piece of plastic.

Which, unfortunately, is a necessity (in most cases) for maximum resale value.

Not the same at all but I understand what your saying. The difference is most paintings are typically a one of a kind, cards are not. So unless your assume it's a one of a kind card it might be a different story. I collected mostly just T206s and I usually had a number of choices. If I passed on one, I knew at some point another one would pop up in the same grade and I didn't have to look at the wrinkled plastic in my display case. Now, if I knew I was never going to see another one or it was a one off then of course I wouldn't pass...
