Grading break out question

[G1911]

Crack it out and throw away the slip. I’ve done it to thousands of cards and have no regrets. I collect cardboard, not corporate opinions.

Glad to hear there are others with the same outlook.

It's your card, my friend. Do with it whatever you darn well please.

I do think that if the rest of your collection is raw, and it rankles you to no end to see this one in a slab, then it seems only logical to crack this one out.

I'm the opposite - virtually all of my stuff is slabbed, and very little is raw, with the only real exception being stuff that is worthless (so not worth grading) and stuff that is too big to fit into a slab.
