It's entirely possible I'm just too laid back about the whole situation, but to me at the end of the day, all slabs are just holders with opinions. They will always exist in some form or another at this point, whether that is SGC, PSA, CGC, or some as of yet unknown future entrant to the market.

If one or the other falls out of favor or ceases someday to exist as a brand, it will be entirely possible for me to get my most valuable cards re-graded or slabbed again with someone else. If I even feel like doing that, and not just leaving them in their current holders - or as I've been known to do sometimes - just busting them out to enjoy the raw card in a toploader or card saver.

The cards, barring some unforeseen event - will be the objects that retain the value over the long term. At least if I am betting. The rest to me quickly just becomes semantics.
