David did you ever get around to scanning that Brown Lenox of yours so we can see love to see another brown.

Cheers,

And no, most rare backs aren't slabbed. There are lots of old collectors who care not about slabbing, nor even this board. Old collectors with good stuff...

The few tougher backs I have aren't slabbed. And probably won't be for a while since they're pretty much all in the 10-20 range. Maybe 30 on a good day.
I don't see much point in slabbing a worn creased card. The few nice ones I have eventually will be, primarily for the potential resale later on. I know what's what, and my wife knows a bit about cards. No telling wether my daughter will care at all yet. She does think cards are fun, but hasn't been kind to the few I've given her (Relax,they're mostly already creased 88 score) The holders were more fun that the cards.....

I would guess more than 80% of the ex/mt and better T206s have been slabbed. Considering that between PSA and SGC more than 200,000 T206s have been graded and generally people are FAR more inclined to grade high grade cards, I think it it is likely that the vast majority of higher end T206s have been graded. Of course I know some old time collectors with nice stuff that has not been graded, but nowhere near the quantity that already has been graded, especially high grade.

Default Similar question

Here we go again with the, "how many are slabbed question".

Couple weeks ago I asked a similar question and got slammed by most saying I was way off base and a very small percentage of "good" cards were already graded. Hmm, now folks are saying upwards of 80% of rare backs are slabbed ?

I am learning this board is great, but take everything with a grain of salt.

As far as rare backs there are not many 6's or higher slabbed. Here's what PSA
has that are six or higher and most are 6's with a couple of 7's.

Uzit 4
Drum 1
Lenox 2
Broadleaf 4

If you ask a question that has no answer then you should expect to get opinions.
