The reality of the hobby is that what is "in" today can be "out" tomorrow. If I was the original poster, I would not crack them out now, but I also wouldn't get items slabbed right now if doing it for the purpose of "marketability" of sales in the distant future.

None of us know if the slabs that the OP cards reside in will be in demand at the time he decides to sell or if they will be considered a badge of shame by that time (at which point it would be wise to crack them out THEN and do whatever was necessary to increase marketability and "value" at that time.) It doesn't hurt anything IMHO to leave them slabbed for now, but for your unslabbed cards, I don't see a benefit to having then slabbed right now if you have no intention of trading or selling them in the near future.
