I break out every slabbed card that I buy to complete my sets.

I'm not interested in selling them to break a set so no need to have them slabbed. I hate looking at cards in slabs -- it's just not natural.

I do have some single cards that are slabbed -- but not many. They're slabbed to sell in the future -- not to keep.
