I assume people have opened them, but I don't know this for sureI picked up a couple "out of case" Green Archive Signatures recently. Up until now, I only got encased from Archives Signature Retired edition.
I'm trying to figure out if people opened up cases, or if they were pulled like this, "leftovers" slated at ARchives Signature retired,
inserted into Archives and Archives Signature [not retired] without the case.

Yes, I see a very distinct difference in hobby interactions now on both facebook and ebay. The sites like this still seem to be fairly traditional, for now at least.There are a lot of new people in the hobby that aren't beholden to the way things "should" be done...it used to be that nobody would dare take an uncirculated/encased card out of the original holder, no matter how beat up it was. Now I see plenty of people removing them for whatever reason, including making it easier to ship. I'm in a Facebook group where it seems like the majority of the people see nothing wrong with "doctoring" cards (including soaking them and rebuilding corners/edges) when that type of talk would have gotten you run out of town on a rail 10-15 years ago. We are now the old fogeys, people.
