Very true! But the more I read posts on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube videos, other sites and of course here, I’m seeing that the hobby thinks graded cards are cool and hip!

Good point! I do however remember that one time when I was selling a bunch of vintage topps (1957-1970 topps) I went to a BIG TIME dealer in our hobby and was told “I can’t give you much for the raw cards because I have to factor in the time and effort it’s going to take me to grade these myself (this was way before the psa grading card boom) but if they were graded I could give you much more.” At that point that’s probably when I should of realized that in regards to resale value, graded gets more then raw (generally speaking) I think I just answered my own question!

Not looking to resale for a profit as I’m a true collector. Leaning more to do it for 20,30,40 years from now when my grandkids inherit them , they they won’t be taken advantage of some card dealer/card shop because as mentioned above, graded cards are becoming more popular by the day and I’m starting to think that years from now a box of vintage raw wine being in the save money as a bunch of vintage graded cards)

Heck, in 20-40 years, the odds are pretty good that grading will be done by a machine program, and eyeball graded cards will be heavily frowned upon. Collect now, grade in 20-40 years when you divest.

Don’t want to leave the grading burden on my family when they inherit my collection in 20,30, 40 years. They will have enough to deal with instead of worrying how to submit cards for grading.

My son and I went to a show this weekend and there was only 1 or 2 tables that did not have graded cards. There were probably 15 dealers that only had graded cards. The graded cards were from many different grading companies. SGC,PSA,& CSG were the most popular, but there were companies that I haven't heard of. As much as I was reluctant to get into graded cards, I think that they are not going anywhere and are growing in popularity every day.
