Joe D.I have no idea what the 'grand idea' behind the baggie is.
but, I would assume a vast majority of the transactions of graded cards in this hobby are done based on a scan (eBay, Auction Houses, N54, emails, etc.). (80% + of transactions? just a guess)
To have an issue with your slab's 'scan-ability' is something that I would consider a must-fix problem.
Whatever the benefit of the baggie is, I think the lack of scan-ability is outweighing its importance.
edit: Marty - I did not see your post when I was posting... thanks for the info/reasoning behind the baggie. I still think they should scrap the baggie idea.
