Screw Your Gasket
Whereas screwdown lucite holders may compress cards too much and "squeeze" the corners or damage the surface and,
whereas SGC gaskets, despite being preferred by many collectors, are associated with slippage of thinner cards behind or in front of the gasket in the SGC holder and, whereas I am not willing to risk a costlier card that I want to display using either of these techniques, I offer the following: 2-209.jpg 1-209 1.jpg Save the gaskets when you crack SGC slabs. Place an appropriate gasket in a screw down lucite holder. Carefully insert the card without a penny sleeve. Replace the top of the screw down and tighten the screws as much as you like. The gasket cannot be compressed. If the card fills the gasket as this one does, it will not slip, move or be compressed. Hope that some of you may find this useful.

gasket
When I use a gasket, I prefer a little slippage

Never put all your eggs in one gasket.

Speaking of a potential similarity, even if only metaphorically, is he holding a ball in his glove? That is sort of weird, and if so, I never really noticed that before and have owned a least 1-2 of that card over the years. What's old is new...or what I forget is new again . And back to initial subject, that slabbing looks quite sturdy. If you put a seal around it you could make it waterproof too!!

It is the way the mitt is made (1900s period w/ individual fingers) which makes it look a bit strange. I recently bought a new glove so noticed it. Carry on...

The only thing different I'd do would be to add some better looking screws. Those standards look too blah for that cube/card. Some nice bronze colored ones that fit flush would look much nicer, imo.

I am a firm believer in personal preference when choosing screws.
