So judgemental. Almost like what you collect rocks and what others like sucks.
This might sound surprising to you, but comics were made for reading and handling, not for collecting in plastic cases. And you can damage a comic in a holder. They are not insufficiently_thoughtful_person proof.
Plenty of board members here collect rare, high grade and pedigree comics and they love to handle them in hand without 'protection' and are not afraid of damaging them. All you have to know is how to handle them properly.
And
I apologize if my comment was offensive or judgemental. I have many more raw books than slabbed and appreciate them for what they are.
