Peel or no peel?

[Vinsanity]

Hey everyone with the older 90's Refractors & early 2000's do you prefer them with the protective peel or without just want to get everyones opinion?

Should Panini maybe do a protective peel for their Prizms/Refractors?

Much prefer them with the peel on, that way you know its in the best possible condition.

Peel all the way..

peel or no peel doesn't really affect the grading. After all, the peel even says to remove protective peel. I think it was just there for protection in the pack. Personally, the cards look much nicer without the peel as there's nothing obstructing the image.

Yeah mate I get what your saying with obstructing the image, a graded card without the peel will be protected either way I think if the cards raw I prefer the peel.
When me and my mates were younger breakin packs some of them couldn't wait to peel that protector off lol

I kept them on for PC cards for a bit, but then got fed up with the writing going diagonally so off it went. All cards in sets had their peeling taken off immediately.

I prefer without the peel. Looks better for sure.

But I probably wouldn't peel it myself. Hurts the value generally.

 

[buyingstuffformikelee]

for value etc Dont peel.

For the "fun" and look, Peel all the way.

Though.... I still can't stand to peel my Shaqs lol

Just get another one to peel.

when they started coming out, and i think if you check beckett issues from the era.. if you peeled the card instantly lost a nominated % of its value. i remember upsetting 20 people by peeling a sprewell (my own card) lol

in my barkley collection i think i have 6.. where 4 still has its cover.. and 2 i couldnt take it anymore.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL

I always like to keep them with the peel. I had a AI rookie year finest refractor with peel graded an it got a 8.5 cause of the surface subgrade being dinged due to the peel. I know I could feel and re submit, but being pc I will keep it as thats how I like it. I know I could peel to get a 9.5 if needed tho

Interesting thread guys, cards look really nice when peeled, especially the refractors.

Maybe BGS/PSA should peel it off when grading?
