Fits quite well with substitute good theory. High grade cards are out of reach for most collectors, so they ratchet down the grades to get in on a card, and having the card in a slab makes the substitute good feel more like the item it replaces. Case in point:

Would have never considered that, but I like it.

I attended two card shows last weekend in NY and most of the vintage slabbed cards I saw were in the 3-7 range, and they were selling well, which is something I would never have thought possible 10 years ago.

I have quite a few older cards that are slabbed. Mine are slabbed for preservation and display purposes as I like to pich them up and look at them. Currently in the process of upgrading about 30 cards that are SGC 10 or 20. Different people have different reasons for slabbing and it is not always about money.

I agree with this one. I own several cards from the 1950's that I'd love to have in a PSA 7, but that's outside of my collecting budget. So I have them in 4's with good eye appeal.
