Encapsulating autographs
Is this now a requirement among collectors? I would have thought that loose checks with LOA's would be preferable, as they can be matted and framed, but the evidence on a check I'm trying to sell says otherwise.

For me personally, I prefer to have them encapsulated. But by no means do they have to be in order for me to buy one.

I prefer slabbed too. If you frame the check that's more or less serving the same purpose of the slab. But not everyone likes to display their items.

I don't like items slabbed, really do not like the way they display. Checks and cuts I preferred framed. I have bout a few slabbed autographed cards over the years that I have broken out of the slab.

Rich always loves showing that off whenever he gets the chance.
I find that the uneducated collector (IE-Never on these boards) gets a piece of mind that comes with having a slabbed check. Plus, there is a value of not having to pay for the slabbing if they ever want to flip in the future. |

Thanks for the responses. I definitely prefer 'no slab' for any item other than some cards; however, I realize that collecting preferences have passed me by, just like technology.

I've never sent anything in to be authenticated but with a nice item like your Cobb check it may be beneficial; especially if it gets a high grade. It's got a lot going for it. The sig looks great with no bank stampings across it and its done in Cobb's Green ink. A guy had a "9" on ebay for 2995.00 and accepted an offer and it sold. It's a beauty but yours doesn't seem far off...unfortunately the slab means everything these days and with a high numerical grade the sky's the limit.

i would like to slab my cobb and walter johnson checks, but i think all the tpas want at least $150...which i'm not willing to do. slabbed is easier to handle than stacks and stacks of raw stuff in big toploaders, having same problems with 8x10s since i'm getting into signed photos a bit. next check/postcard/picture i buy of a big hof'er will preferably be slabbed, and not raw or with an additional LOA that i need to store.

I have a guy on ebay proclaiming himself a 20-year vet of autograph dealing who has been buying Cobb checks all day long for 450-600. That bit of info, of course, is the precursor to asking me what I will take for it.
I hate ebay. In fact, I hate selling stuff in general. Perhaps I will just declare everything I currently own to be my personal collection

I have dumped coffee or wine on countless books, but Never a collectible. I always prepare a safe area/surface before taking anything out.
As a collector I don't like plastic other than toploaders for cards and bags for documents. But I understand the appeal.
