Meh, I have duals in worse shape than those. I'm not a stickler for card condition as long as they're playable for things of that nature (<$50 cards I prefer NM). I'm still not a fan of the pony alters, but if you don't think you're ever going to let them go then it's your decision to make.
I think condition is mostly about being a player or a collector (or just obscenely rich and willing to riffle shuffle gem mint alpha lotii).
If you are going to play with them in regular tournaments it's kind of hard to justify a premium on mint stuff as it's eventually going to show play wear.
If you are into collecting to collect, then why not. I don't own any cards I don't play with (maybe my Korean Mawcor's).
Yeah, I guess I mean a vintage bi-weekly level of play. Eventually you'll see some bowing, maybe you nick an edge push shuffling.
The vintage stuff I still have is pretty well worn. But should we ever get vintage rolling around here (Atlanta), I'll be sleeving it up and shuffling it.
I'm hoping to make it to bazaar of moxen, and absolutely playing vintage at Gencon ...
Edit: HAaahhaha my Gauntlets of Might ... probably not considered a must have type one card anymore.
I want that beta jet. Its been card i've wanted since i first started. I did just pick up two NM beta d tutors yesterday tho.
I don't think it is.

Newest members of the collection. Dig the pants.
Second FBB German Underground Sea, Beta Dark Rituals, and Unglued Goblin tokens are on their way to me. Would people be interested in seeing a English non-foil deck in this thread? (I don't like foils, but I do like black borders and original printings.)

Russian Foil Marsh Flats? Hawt.

Both of these scans are larger than the previous ones supplied by my artist. But it is irrelevant...I'll be scanning them all together once they're back.

All that is left is Spike on the foil Voltaic Keys and DD Tezzeret the Seekers, and my Guru duals. And my artist is correcting Celestia's mane and tail - the green isn't visible enough and he missed the pink portion.

One thousand Vintage decks just died from internal bleeding.
