Default Grading/condition question???

Posted By: Richard Lloyd

Thanks Leon...
I understand where you are coming from and I agree that a card that is slabbed has the proof that "It is what it is" I would agree that it is worth a small percentage more but in my mind that card has not changed grade after it has been slabbed..it is still the same grade..all that has been done is confirmation.. It seems to me the slab actually makes the card a better grade which would be a GREAT TRICK!!! anyway.. I have just noticed there is a big price difference from slab and not slabbed and wondering why the HUGE JUMP.. and yes,
I would and have payed a little more for cards that are slabbed..A good example is the 1928 Fro-Joy babe Ruth cards...I have 3 of them and they are real and having them graded or auth. gives much more confidence.. as well all know they are many fakes..and having them confirmed is worth the added cost..
Thanks
Richard
