Guys,

I have never personally slabbed any of my collection of over 200,000 cards. However, most of these cards are from the '80s and '90s and frankly not worth slabbing.

Less than one per cent of my cards are slabbed and were purchased that way. These are high value "modern" star cards. For instance, Mantles, Mays, stars of that magnitude.

Another one per cent of my cards are pre-war. To date, none of these cards are slabbed.

My new years resolution is trade away all my new stuff and buy primarily pre-war vintage. Considering how much new stuff I have, it's really more like my resolution for the next 20 years. Laugh out loud.

I do not see my situation as that unusual.

If you look at all cards overall, no more than 5% are slabbed. Since pre-war stuff is in general more expensive, I would say no more than 10% of pre-war is slabbed.
