I dont understand why people get so upset. Most people look at US like we are crazy for spending only $100 on old NES games that they think are crap? If someone wants to spend one million on the same thing we collect, just on a much higher level, how can you criticize them? The grading thing is split in every form of collecting, cards, Hot wheels and vintage toys. I think the thing that gets us mad about the grading is thats when you start to take a love for the hobby and make it about money. I have a huge vintage Transformers collection and I HATE when people say "wow, those are worth some money"
I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I collect mint in box but not mint in sealed box because I want to actually see the item inside. On the other hand, if you have an item so rare, it should be preserved the best way possible and that is to slab it. I have an Xmen #1 and I would be crazy not to slab it to keep it from deteriorating.
