Is the case provided by these companies a better way to keep safe our gems?2. For any SW item, is it better to leave it in the original shrink or have the shrink removed and set in a case?These questions go beyond the economic value and its trend...

Sir Kill Alot wrote in CGC Grading Etc...:I figured I would do the eBay legwork. Maybe I'm struggling with this more than I should... Is the point of having items graded and slabbed to preserve cream of the crop type stuff with the common items? A beat up STI, yes because there are probably 50 in the world so preserve it, not a D3 or I6 where there are 10's of thousands still in existence.-SKA

We will also discuss how you are not an idiot, even though you feel like one. I will be leading the mantra: "Its actually a good grade."
Tszii wrote in CGC Grading Etc...:These arent mine. I posted some I had graded before, but want to keep them.
Mordenkainen wrote in CGC Grading Etc...:Sorry to be unclear - I meant how much was it to get them graded, including all the relevant extra fees?
