No, they are not laminating your collectibles in the sense that you're thinking of. As Raulus posted, they are using laminate material to encapsulate your cards though. It is the same material that you'd use to laminate a document at FedEx, but they're just heating it in certain spots to hold it from moving around. I've removed these from slabs in the past. It's a very rigid plastic. Technically, this is still referred to as "laminating", it's just not how most of us are used to thinking about it.

"Lamination is the technique/process of manufacturing a material in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability, sound insulation, appearance, or other properties from the use of the differing materials, such as plastic."

Thank you, this makes sense.

If those checks were meant to purchase enough ammunition for his forays, Custer's heirs should be in a nice position for a lawsuit.

Too soon??

For the life of me, I cannot understand why people continue to use these ass clowns.
