runscottI really like the SGC "presentation", and since I'm not a set collector, it also helps makes a bunch of cool cards that look nothing alike, look like they sort of go together...and the slab protects them.
When I first started collecting I didn't even consider slabbed cards, because I thought it was stupid - I wanted to be able to hold my cards and look at them with nothing in the way. I understand your points about newbies thinking the slab ensures the product is legitimate - I never had to deal with that issue until later so I didn't consider it.
