Did that come from coin grading?

2) Does the condition of the slab ever affect the desirability of the card? If so, how common is re-slabbing to get the card back into a pristine slab?
I can answer yes to 2. I had a Jordan star card I got destroyed on bc of a small slab crack. It puts off a lot of bidders.
