I prefer graded cards for a few reasons. I like the protection it provides. I enjoy trading cards and typically it is easier to trade and determine value when the card is graded. The last reason is that when I pass away, I think having graded cards makes it easier on my loved ones.

Graded. Eye appeal still matters and I don't mind low grade, but with graded it is easier to handle for insurance purposes vs raw it gets a lot more complicated on establishing a value if something happens. Prices of raw are still compared on a grading scale anyway.

I think as much as us old farts (me included) resist it, graded cards are the future of the vintage card hobby!

I like to collect cards that reputable grading card companies will not likely slab, so if more vintage is under plastic it probably won't effect me.

I would like to see them try to slab the Cracker Jack Caldwell. The wooden plaque is about 5/8" thick.

I like both, but for my vintage sets, I prefer raw. I crack out the majority of cards in slabs that I buy. The only ones I don't are high value cards. But even with those, I still occasionally crack them out as well.

No, no one has posted any thoughts on this dead horse topic since Christmas. No one has any new thoughts on this topic on the Postwar side either. There are no new thoughts on this topic. Use the search feature on this site. A guy named Archive will give you plenty to read.

I have had one new thought on this topic...I like my cards graded if they are not raw.
